Expert Reply:
You can use the Replacement Head for Reese Weight Distribution System - Trunnion Bar # RP58167 if you have something like this weight distribution shank # RP54970. This will work with a ball with a shank diameter of 1-1/4 inches new or old. I cannot provide a replacement part for the one tab on your old set up, ideally you would have a specific model to provide and then I can get you exactly what you need. This may be impossible because of how old your system is, but identification could still be visible.
