What type of hitch is this?

This is from an OOOOOLD trailer and I'm hoping I can just fix the coupler that's on there. I've looked at a million different coupler repair kits online and for the life of me can't figure out which one, if any, will work. Anybody know what I should be looking for? It's a 1 7/8.

:welcome: aboard. No pics, Dork. You might try Photobucket and paste the IMG code in the body of your message. Works better right now.

Did that work?

Got em, Dork. That coupler should have a knob with a spring lever for locking the knob. The knob also has a threaded shaft through an arm that clamps on the ball. All for that is missing. Let me see if I can find a pic of what it should look like.

Newer than yours, but the same type. http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Coupler/Titan/T2343400183.html

They have repair kits, but you might have a time matching with your oldie.

Looks like a Yard Dog style coupler to me. They have long been popular on rentals like trailers and tow behind equipment like chippers. The same coupler can be used for a 1 7/8" through 2 1/8" ball.
