Question:

What is the requirement of a trailer ball mount hole size to properly fit a Ball that is 1 7/8inch X 5/8inch x 1-3/4? Will a 1inch hole be too big on the trailer mount or will a 5/8inch shank size for the ball fit it properly e.g. will it be too loose for proper security of the Ball when towing? Where can I purchase the trailer ball mount for my Bad Boy Buggie UTV?

Expert Reply:

First, you will want the shank of the ball to be the same as the hole in the ball mount. If you need a 5/8 inch shank on a ball then we have some options. For a 2 inch ball we have # CB-20Z. For a 1-7/8 inch diameter ball we have # C40095.

As far as ball mount specific to your Bad Boy Buggie UTV you will want to check with the manufacturer to determine if you have to use a specific ball mount or if you can use any ball mount that fits.
