What about getting a hold of the Captain you bought it from and asking if they used a special type of vehicle to move it around on the docks. They had to move it some how... Just throwing stuff against the wall...

It says FOREMOST PRODUCTS HOLLY MICHIGAN ON IT. I googled it and came up with nothing. It's too bad because it seems to work real nice, other than not going on a ball. LOL!

Hmmmmmmmm.............. I have never seen a coupler like that. Most couplers have the size on them somewhere. That may be a lawn and garden type of thing and not something meant for the road. I think I would get a new one.

Here are some pictures.  I've sanded down the ball to get rid of a few burs and still no luck.  What am I missing. Is there a different style of ball?

do you have any pics of your coupler?  And are you sure you are using a 1 7/8 and not a 2 inch?

Never heard of a ball smaller than 1 7/8" What coupler are you using. The standard Fulton that came on the T3-C is a 1 7/8". mine fits normally. (I think the European's have a smaller ball/coupling arrangement, but that would be metric)

Does anyone know if the make a trailer ball smaller than 1 7/8"?  I've tried getting my trailer on a 1 7/8" ball, but have had no luck. Did they make a 1 3/4" ball?  My coupler seems to be in good shape it's just too small.  Maybe machine a 1 7/8 down? Help.Confused
