If you're staying within the 2,000 lb capacity of the Reese Towpower 3-Way ATV Hitch w/ Ball Mount Adapter # RP7065100 and the bolt is coming loose then I recommend using some threadlocker like part # LT37643 to help keep everything in place. The blue threadlocker isn't as strong as the red threadlocker so you'll be able to remove this system from you ATV if you ever need to.
