Your 1st reviewer, Mr Whitman, uses cotterless hitch-pins. My question - what diameter hitch-pin?

I haven`t used any hitch pins. I just set my table saw on stand and let it go. Have not had any problems with it sliding or twisting on stand.

Three eights of an inch diameter, 3 1/4 inches long with a pull ring works perfect.

CORRECTION!!!!! so sorry! i should really have more morning coffee before i attempt to answer anything.the statement about the top of the receivers' "square hole" is WRONG! the top of the long channel/tube on the Hitchmate is- 1-5/8" BELOW the bottom of the receiver opening.

5/8". I don't believe they make a 2" hitch with anything less. 1/2" is for your smaller hitches.

You are correct, however a normal pin with a cotter pin clip would allow easily removal by anyone wishing to engage in theft. A locking pin can be purchased most anywhere.Otherwise, the hitch is a valuable addition to both of my trucks, and my neighbor even asked for one last Christmas. You will be amazed at how far back cars will stop behind you in traffic. Enjoy!

These are too small for safety pins. I have tried it and you need some that are a little bigger.

5/8" class III-V hitches use 5/8" and 1 1/4 arbor. This is a big chunk of steel!

It is a ONE INCH shank. In the threaded section (bottom side) it measures just under 1" ... so I'm assuming it's 1" stock before being threaded. I would imagine you'd only find the 3/4" shanks on the smaller hitches.

I have a class V hitch on my truck...standard equipment for a 1 ton Sliverado truck. This hitch pin is just a little too short. I still use it but the barrel slides on just far enough to only use 3 of the 4 combination numbers.

So sorry! Didn't see this email until I started cleaning the mailbox today. If it's not too late.... post diameter is about 1.5 centimeters, or 5/8 inch. Don't know about other brands or what might be "standard". Hope that helps.

I'm not familiar with California closets but I've never seen any pins that didn't measure 1/4 inch in diameter, shelf pins that is. Bob

Hello Richard. Unfortunately I show that the manufacturer (Dee-Zee) does not have a listing for your application. Bert Camp Rigid Hitch Amazon Sales

Maybe measure ... "2 IN x 2 IN tube cover" see Curt page https://www.curtmfg.com/part/21728 Not much to it, it's a rubber cap that goes on the end of the hitch.

I just used a 5/8 pin that I already had for my hitch. It's continued to work fine.

I got both 3-inch and 4-inch pins; I recommend the 4" pins. Bigger and stronger. I used them to make a bed cover made of 2 quilts and 2 blankets and they hold very well. If you want something even more secure try the following item: 10 Pc Heavy Duty Jumbo 4" Stainless Steel Safety Pins. These have an extra feature as you'll see and should never come open by accident.

I would suggest that you purchase the Hitch Pin at a local High quality retailer. The pin is very important and handle all the weight you pull.

I suggest you measure your receiver. You can either get the 2 inch or 1 1/2 inch hitch.

You should be able to get a hitch pin at just about any automotive store. I think a 3.5in by 5/8 will work. I'm not sure it will be stable enough using just a pin, but I could be wrong. I didn't like either way so I bought a hitch mounted vise plate that is made for the 2 in. receiver and it comes with the correct pin. You'll need to drill some holes.
