I do have weld-on, a-frame trailer couplers in which replacement parts are available but the A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Round Jack Hole part # CA-5280-RB is not one of them. The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # 12660-97SP and Bulldog Heavy-Duty Cast Head Coupler part # BD44150W0317 both have replacement coupler repair kits, the Demco Composite eZ-Latch Repair Kit part # DM6008 and the Repair Kit Fulton Wedge-Latch Cast Head Coupler part # F670801.

I recommend the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler because the eZ-Latch mechanism is very simple to use, just drop the coupler over the hitch ball and the latch will snap into place. The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler can then be painted to match the trailer frame with a can of spray paint.

The big difference between the two couplers you mentioned is that the Demco #DM13205-95 does not come with chain anchors and the part #DM16680-52 does.

Answer 9

You could drill into the Bulldog #BD028463 and make it a bolt-on but that's not really ideal. We don't have the exact match in a bolt-on model. We do have part #BD44150WH301 for a bolt-on Bulldog coupler. It has a higher rating but the price…
