Today we're going to be taking a look at part number C40036. This is the Curt 2 and 5/16 inch hitch ball. Now, this hitch ball is a little bit different than normal hitch balls, it's going to have a high rise design. That's going to let you easily match the ball to your trailer height. The trailer hitch ball is going to sit 2 extra inches above the ball mount platform on your particular ball mount. Again, it's a nice design, it's a unique design, that really allows you to get the ball where you need it to haul your trailer the way that you want to, or the way that you should. The unit is going to feature a fine threaded system that's going to provide exceptionally tight, strong grip.
Steel construction with a nickel-chrome finish, that's going to do a good job at resisting rust and corrosion and lasting a long time. You are going to get the lock washer and the nut. Those items are included. The ball diameter on the unit, printed right here on top, that's going to be 2 and 5/16 of an inch. That's going to be rated at 10,000 pounds, so that's going to be the capacity. If we take a measurement of the shank length, that's measuring this portion right here, that's going to give us a length of 2 and 5/8 of an inch.
The shank is going to give us a diameter of an inch and 1/4. That's helpful to know depending on the ball mount that you want to install this on. The rise area, so this portion right here, that's going to give us that 2 inch measurement. Then from the bottom of the platform right here to the top of the hitch ball, that's going to give us a measurement that looks to be about 4 and 5/8 of an inch, which is going to give this unit an overall length measurement; looks to be about 7 and 1/4 of an inch. Really simple installation. You need to make sure that the ball mount that you're installing this on has the inch and 1/4 hole.
Slide the shank through the hole on your ball mount platform. On the underside of the platform is going to go the lock washer and the nut and then you'll need to follow the instructions and make sure that you get this torqued down to the specifications listed by the manufacturer. That's going to ensure that everything is tight and that the ball is going to stay onto the ball mount platform and that it's ready for towing. That's going to do it for today's look at part number C40036.
