Looking for a Coupler Replacement Kit for a Dutton-Lainson Model 980-2 1-7/8 Trailer Coupler
Question:
I cannot find the above kit on your website. Can you point me in the right direction?
asked by: Chuck
Expert Reply:
The only Model 980 trailer coupler that Dutton-Lainson offers is the model 980 P-2 coupler, # DL13800. The correct latch repair kit for this coupler is part # DL13970. The model 980 coupler was designed for 2 inch hitch balls only. I spoke with my contact at Dutton-Lainson and she said they do not offer a model 980 coupler for 1-7/8 inch hitch balls.
If your coupler uses a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, it may be a model 960 coupler and the latch repair kit, # DL13968, that you referenced would be the correct repair kit for that coupler.
