We do have a nice selection of standard straight tongue couplers available that will work to replace your existing actuator.

If you have a 2 inch channel the etrailer.com Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-3001-Z is a great option that features a sturdy steel construction and a zinc finish to provide corrosion resistance. It is a bolt-on installation. The coupler does have a 3,500 pound weight capacity so you will just need to make sure this matches or exceeds the loaded weight of your trailer.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this coupler that you can also check out.

If you have a different size channel or your trailer weight exceeds the 3,500 pound limit on this unit please let me know and I will be happy to make a different recommendation.
