Availability of 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball With a 1/2 Inch Diameter Shank

Question:

Im looking for a trailer hitch ball to fit my mower with a 1/2 eye on the pull bar. Its only used to move an empty trailer in the yard. Do you have anything to fit such a small pull bar with a 1 7/8 ball?

We can get you pretty close. The closest thing we offer would be the # C40095 ball from Curt that is a 1-7/8 inch ball with a 5/8 inch shank. If it's possible to enlarge that eye from 1/2 inch to 5/8, I'd recommend going that route. Since you'd only be increasing the hole size by about an 1/8 of an inch, you wouldn't need to worry about removing too much material from the pull bar.
