Reese Towpower 74797 Coupler Repair Review

If you order a kendon motorcycle trailer it won't fit, also the amount of metal that makes up the bottom latch is 30% thinner so I didn't trust it anyway.

Bolt was 1 1/2 turns longer than competitor. This allowed me to close with a clenched fist or palm without using a sledgehammer. It holds the bullet securely without tearing off the chrome finish.

2 inch ball. I'm a bit concerned as I had to keep the nut all the way through and didn't get much thread. If I over tightened it was impossible to get on the ball.

I didn't see what size ball this particular model was so I took a chance and hoped it would fit a 1-7/8" ball. Unfortunately it's made for a 2 "-Ball. Luckily I managed to get a part from the old clutch that I needed to make it work.

The clutch seems to work well and seems reliable. It comes with a retained locking pin, which is a nice touch. No nyloc nut is supplied. Every one I've seen, including the broken one, I have. I don't understand how an ordinary mother can't loosen up over time. This is probably an unlikely scenario, but it could mean life or death, or it could be. I just reused my old nut until I could mount a new one.
