asked by: Dave R
Helpful Expert Reply:
I went to the warehouse and pulled hitch balls with a 3/4 inch shank and 1 inch shank made by Curt and Tow-Ready and Reese to compare the threads.
The nuts are interchangeable between the 3/4 inch shank hitch balls as well as the 1 inch hitch balls, so if you are using a Curt hitch ball, you can use a nut from a Tow-ready, or Reese hitch ball with the same size shank with no problem.
