Just gave in & bought another $7 2" ball at HD with a 3/4" shaft. I'll put a bushing in it & be done.

I put mine in the drill press and drilled it out...took a few minutes...

I attempted to put a 2" ball on my hitch on my drawbar this weekend and had no issue with the hole size; but the threaded post on the ball was only 1/8th longer than the thickness of the drawbar so it was impossible to attach the fastening nut. I need a ball with a longer threaded post on it. I did not have time to measure anything Saturday, so I have to wait til next Friday to look at this more closely.

If you can find one there are balls with an internal threaded hole for a bolt allowing you to accomodate any thickness.
I actually have a drawbar around I assembled years ago with a 1 7/8 ball on one side with a 2" on the other, using one ball with a hole screwed into the one with a stud. This was years before someone started marketing such an item.

BTW I bet the OP's Kubota hole is 25mm...that is a common metric size. I bought some wheels and tires from HF to build a logging arch and was stymied for awhile when I discovered the axles needed were not 1" (25.4mm) but 25mm. Turns out long hardened 25mm bolts used for axles are hard to find and cost a whole lot more than 1" bolts.
