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. Since you say straight coupler I am not sure if you are looking for an actuator that doesn't have a drop or if you are looking for a standard coupler. If you could let me know which way you are leaning towards and what the spacing is for your mounting holes I can see if we have an exact replacement for you.

You can also filter through our linked selection of replacement couplers for your trailer as well.
