Question:
Is this right ball for the Draw Tite Pintle Hitch? Also if you were to tow a trailer with a ring, what would you use in place of the ball? Thanks

The correct replacement ball for a Draw-Tite Pintle Hook Combo, # 63012, with a 2-5/16 inch ball is the Pintle Hitch Ball, # 63052.
The Tow Ready Ball, # 63019, fits pintle hitch # TR63042.
If you were towing a trailer with a lunette ring, you would not remove the ball. The ball is what retains the ring and the top part of the pintle hitch keeps it from jumping up and off of the ball.
