Expert Reply:

The, 12234, Curt Class II Round Tube Trailer Hitch Receiver comes with a drawbar, pin and clip but does not come with the hitch ball. As long as the ball you have has a 3/4 inch diameter shank you will be able to install it on the drawbar included with this hitch. If your ball has a 1 inch diameter shank you will need to purchase a new hitch ball for your Class II hitch.

If you have a different draw bar you should remove the ball from it and use it on the new drawbar because all Class II trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount for that hitch. Using a ball mount that is not recommended by the manufacturer will void the warranty.
