Questions & Answers
It's important to note that "30,000 pound tensile strength" refers to 30,000 pounds PER SQUARE INCHES. The cross section of a 5/8" pin is approximately 0. 307 sq. in. As a result, the tensile (rather than shear) strength would be around 9,200 lbs. These pins, on the other hand, are only used in double shear, never in tension. To calculate the shear strength, one would need to know it. Similar pins are listed at 30,000 lbs shear strength by another source, which is still psi, not total pounds of force. Assuming my source meant single shear, applying the math gets you back to 9,200 lbs in single shear. Double shear would bring you close to 18,000 pounds of ultimate strength, but keep in mind that this is the ultimate strength, not the working load or safe load, which would be much lower. Let's say 10,000 pounds is a safe working load. It's the pulling capacity, not the weight capacity, that matters. None of this, of course, has anything to do with the bearing capacity, which is determined by the metal into which the pin holes are drilled. The bearing capacity will be the limiting factor if you get a good enough pin. br>br>PS: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "cre It's "shear" as in "so sheer I can see through it," not "shear" as in "cut off" (as in shearing a sheep).
I have no recollection of what happened. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and hasn't given me any problems.
It's for 2 inch, 1 1/4 inch uses 1/2 inch diameter, and this is 5/8" diameter, which is longer than some 5/8" diameters that might fit a 2 1/2".

I also lost the clip on one, and replacing it was about the same price; I've never been disappointed with a Curt product, and I keep a spare in the truck because there are a lot of miles between where I am and where I want to go, and I don't want any problems when pulling a trailer.
Just keep in mind that this is for a 2-inch hitch. I drilled out the hole to replace the clip with a Master lock.
It's holding something on the John Deere if it's not in my Curt hitch, which I installed last year. br>br>Order a few of these instead of searching for your misplaced hitch pin. br>br>"You can never have too many hitch pins. " "br>"br>"br>"br>"br>"br>"br>"br>"br RIP.
I gave them away as Christmas presents to everyone who has a hitch at this price.
I own a number of trailers as well as a number of trucks. I seem to be on the lookout for hitch pins all of the time. I got the ten pack because it was such a good deal. Pins should be kept in all hitches, and spares should be kept in the trucks. There's no need to rummage through drawers in search of pins.
Hitch pins are used to attach a trailer to a vehicle. These were bought for hitch gear in the class III category. These are the perfect fit. There are no issues. br>br>These have well over a thousand dollars on them and there are none to report.
This is what I use to keep a chrome trailer hitch cover on my 2" hitch. I didn't want the old one on my new truck because it was rusted and corroded. I'm happy with it.
It's a sold bar that's been bent and has a hole in it, folks. If you need one, I recommend going with the cheapest option. I went ahead and did it. I put a tow bar in the 2" receiver and this in the hole to keep it from falling out, and it works perfectly. What could you possibly want now?.
