  • Replacement Latch for Fulton 14K Straight Tongue Coupler or Replacement Coupler
  • We don't have a confirmed fit for your Fulton Coupler for a repair kit. The Latch Repair Kit # F670801 is the closest option we have and hasn't been tested with straight couplers so I can't confirm it will work. I recommend instead for a confirmed fit replacing your coupler with the Buyers Products Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler - Auto Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - Bolt On - 15K # 3370091562 which is the closest to your 14K or the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Zinc - 2-5/16" Ball...

  • Coupler Repair Kit For Reese Towpower Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler
  • The Coupler Repair Kit for 2" Curt Couplers # C25194 has not been tested with the Reese Tow Power 74280 coupler but it should work well. Mechanically these style couplers are not very different, so the parts should work without issue. This is our most popular repair kit and you can see from the review page it works very well for most applications. I've linked the page to all our straight tongue coupler repair kits to show the similarity.

  • Replacement Coupler Needed for Tie Down Engineering 66 Model Actuator
  • I was able to find that your Tie Down Engineering 66 Model actuator fits trailer tongues that are 3"x3", 3"x4", and 3"x5". It is only compatible with 2" hitch balls but I was unable to find the mounting hole measurements. We do have a wide variety of actuators like the Dexter # 099-175-20 or standard couplers like part # DM12925.

  • Replacement Parts For Fulton Straight channel Coupler For 1-7/8 Inch Trailer Ball
  • I spoke with my contact at our supplier and they no longer supply the repair kits for 1-7/8 inch straight channel couplers. They told me that what most customers have been doing is purchasing the coupler and removing the parts they need to do the repair. I cannot recommend the Husky Repair Kit, part # HT87082 you referenced because manufacturers do not test fit components made by other companies. Many times the coupler is a bolt-on, and can be easily replaced. If the coupler has been...
