Question:
The mounting plate has 6 bolt holes, are you suppose to use all six? When you compare this 15 ton pintle hitch to 337BP760A 30 ton has only 2 mounting plate holes. Also how tight do you tighten the center nut with the spring? The video did not address these questions. Thank You

Expert Reply:
The Buyers Products 15 Ton Swivel Type Pintle Hook # 337BP100A does require you to use all 6 mounting locations. The instructions require 1/2" grade 8 bolts and nuts to attach this to your mounting flange.
The Buyers Products 30 Ton Heavy-Duty Swivel Type Pintle Hook # 337BP760A will include 2- 3/4" bolts for mounting to the required flange.
For the installation of the # 337BP100A spring "Install pintle, spring, washer(s) and nut. Use one washer for 3/4" mounting thickness and two washers for 5/8" mounting thickness. Tighten nut to slightly compress spring and install cotter key in nut castellation. Spread cotter pin."
