Question:

I am thinking of buying part number EA80, which appears to be 1 inch thick. I would like 63852 as the ball for this however, it states it is for a draw bar thickness of 3/8 to 3/4? Will you please look at these items and tell me if I am missing something? Will they work together?

Expert Reply:

You are correct about ball mount # EA80. The ball platform is indeed 1 inch thick. The 2 inch ball # 63852 does not have a long enough shank to be used with this ball mount. You will need a 2 inch ball with a long shank such as # 63849. It isn't stainless steel like the other ball and there isn't a stainless steel option with a long enough shank that would work.
