Yoke Style Coupler Replacement for 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball Compatibilty

Question

Question:

Hello, I recently bought this utility trailer and the yoke style coupler doesnt seem to lock when its on the hitch. Is there a repair kit or do I need to buy a new coupler? It fits a 2 5/16 ball. You can see from the picture that the latch doesnt match up with the holes to hold it in place. Thank you in advance for your help.

Unfortunately we don't have a repair kit at this time. If you choose to replace the entire coupler, I recommend the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ Low-Profile Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - A-Frame - 12,500 lbs # BD028499. For a bolt on option, you may be interested in the Bulldog Heavy-Duty Cast Head Coupler w/ Wedge Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - A-Frame - 15,000 lbs, # BD44150WH301, that has the wedge latch.

The four bolt brake mounting flange for 8,000 lb trailer axles is going to be more or less an industry standard. This industry standard is 3-5/8" across left to right on center and 3-7/16" top to bottom on center. This could very well vary…

There is pretty much a standard for channel mount couplers such as #DM12113-95. The channel width is usually 3 inches and the couplers are usually around 2-7/8 inches wide to fit in the 3 inch wide channel. Once torqued down there is no side to side…

As long as the wet bolt that you are intending to use is the appropriate size, wet bolts can be used on the fixed side of leaf springs. You will want to make sure that the bolt is the correct diameter, length, and that there is not a clearance issue…

Since the diameter size of the posts on this u-bolt is 9/16-inch you can ideally use a 9/16-inch or 5/8-inch bit (or even a 1/2-inch bit if you have the room to move the drill around enough to ream the hole to the required size). In either case you…

Answer 11

Thanks so much for the photos, and there isn't a replacement for just the front coupler portion of the long-discontinued coupler you have. So in order to switch out from a 2" to a 2-5/16" coupler attachment, you will need to replace the…
