Question:

Will this work with a Demco Item # DM15931-95. Or does the Demco even need a couple pin? Thank you

Expert Reply:

For the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15931-95 you will need the Coupler Pin # 37201281 to ensure the hitch ball does not come unlatched while towing. You can also use the Lock # e98888 for additional security. The Pin # 37201244 you found only has a usable length of 2-9/16" and you need a minimum of 3" to fit your coupler. Also with the coupler pin opening of 5/16" you will not want to use a 5/16" pin as the pin is more likely to get stuck due to corrosion.
