The third pic won't work as a pintle hitch. angular relationship between other features on the part is sometimes important

I got the hitches painted today, which was nothing worth taking pictures of. But here is a couple of photos of the hitches while on the job These aren't all that good because something else was being photographed, not the hitches. I'm no photographer ether.

Are your dual wall plastic pipes filled with concrete or something for weight? I assume you are packing trails?

I think you've got it Jons, but please tell everyone whats wrong in this photo. This is for a common 2" receiver hitch....

No. The plastic culvert would only last just a few runs if it was weighted that much. They are normally weighted with nothing. The hardness of snow has much to do with time, which is for freezing.

Yeah, after I posted that I thought that was a stupid question.

P.S. There's two things wrong with your picture above but I'll let jonsstihl answer.

Oh h-ell, I could not find those 'weldable hooks' locally so I used standard ones and cut them back and proceeded to weld them onto my FEL frame.
That was years back and I have hoisted all sorts of loads (enough to raise my rear end) and so far no problems.
They have been installed for over 8 years now and used at least once a month.

"could not find those 'weldable hooks' locally so I used standard ones and cut them back"

That's me; did that on both sides of my 2' bucket on the 580, been on there at least that long. These days, I use the weldables, and nearly all of 'em are on 2" tube (with the pin hole oriented right :laughing: OK, I'll fess up - a couple of my plug-in hooks have pin holes drilled BOTH ways :ashamed:

I've had no probs with hooks from these guys
Weldable Grab Hooks

Sorry Arly, I've looked around quite a bit and haven't come up with your "half-pintle" hooks... Steve
