What is the best hitch assembly to use with this implement? Money Matters.

It depends on what you're towing it behind. I bought an electric-actuated sleeve hitch on eBay that fits into the 2" receiver on my ATV. (I just looked there and don't see it anymore). It was about $400.

Depending on what you are using your gonna have to find a sleeve to raise and lower it. The type and cost of the hitch will depend on your tractor or 4 wheeler whatever. If you have a cub cadet google cub cadet sleeve hitches and compare costs. If you have something else google it an see. I have a cub and I bought the stuff from ccspecialites and I think it cost me around 300 for the mount and hitch. That might seem like a lot but it will let u hook up multiple implements with the pull of a pin. I've got the scraper, and cultivator and also made a mount for a ball so I don't have to screw it off and on just pull the pin an hook up. Pretty handy.

You don't, just use a little wd40 and the bolts that it comes with. The car frame already has the threads. There may be a little rust in the holes of your car, so thread the bolts once prior to installing the hitch assembly.

I had to order my brackets separately. I bought the 5th wheel hitch but I would say the Curt gooseneck hitch is your best match but would assume others could also work fine if properly measured and installed.

To get the answer to your question go to the PullRite web page, they have complete compatability listings there. It's a great hitch for a short bed pickup.

Go to Ace (or some other hardware store) and get a solid bolt (that is only threaded on the end) that is the same diameter as the pin hole-- so you have to tap in to the hole with a hammer. Put on a nut, tighten it down, no more play thus no more clunking. Same for the receiver hitch hole too. A little extra effort to install & remove but no more clunking and more secure than just a cotter pin & sloppy pin.

I use a standard hitch pin for my receiver hitch. I'll measure it this evening. CN

Please refer to the Curt website for specific information about all hitches. That's always the best way to research such issues. I'm just a user without details.

The hitch has been great. I'm sure the brackets will work. Call hitch Source or the manufacturer to confirm bracket size, I'm not around mine currently to measure, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the hitch!

Unknown, I have a different receiver step which did not come with a "hitch pin". Already had a hitch pin that I used with my ball hitch adapter.

I am using the combination of a Master Lock 72DPF Heavy Duty Cable, 15 Feet Braided Steel, 3/8-Inch Diameter with a Master Lock 40DPF Round Padlock with Shielded Shackle, 2-3/4-Inch, Stainless Steel. This allows me to pass the cable through four bike frames and the wheels, the security loops on the bike rack and finally through the hitch on the vehicle. It makes for an easy-to-manage and relatively secure set-up that allows me to park long enough to grab a meal or gas. I do not think there is a manageable solution that would give me the peace of mind to leave the bikes on the car overnight. If you are asking about which lock to secure the rack within the hitch receptor, none that I researched looked to be anymore secure or as simple to use as the cabled approach I described. You are going to want to lock your bikes in addition to the hitch so why not kill two birds with one stone (and one key). I also decided to use the Curt Manufacturing 21510 Coated Hitch Pin and Clip instead of the stock pin which makes for quick, tool-free installation and removal of the hitch. However if you go this route, you will need to enlarge the holes on the Allen Sports Deluxe rack as they use a slightly smaller than standard hitch bolt; enlarging the holes is something that can be done with a good quality bit, your average electric drill, some oil to keep the bit lubricated and about five minutes of drilling . The upside is the Curt Hitch pin is significantly more substantial than the Allen Hitch bolt and so much easier to deal with.

Should be fine as long as your frame has dropouts you can bolt the "hitch" to.

It's a category 1 hitch and comes with standard 7/8" draw pins on the bottom. You'll need a couple standard category 1 lynch pins, however. On the top I used a standard 4 1/2" x 3/4" diameter top link pin and lynch pin.

It's a 6mm allen wrench. You'll also need a 3/4" standard wrench to bolt it to the hitch.

That's what I did; works great....haven't had ANY problems with this hitch!! Just honor the 500 lb tongue limit and you're good.

Sorry, I am not the seller or maker of these hitches. I am only a customer. You'll have to ask the company or a vendor. Good luck.

If memory serves me, the locking pin comes included with the hitch because it has to match the ball mount. Sorry I can't be more help. Good hitch however and I had u-haul install one slack work day for $60.

Directly from allen sports. Their customer service is amazing! I think the extra hitches are $7
