Harbor Freight quick hitch

You then will need to use CAT II to CAT III bushings.

Yeah. Could not get my Cat. 1 pins loose without getting out my 6 ft pipe on the wrench or going upstairs to get air and use of my 450 ft lb air wrench. These Cat. 2 pins aren't any longer, and the bushings are too skinny to fully cover the pins. See my other note. Exchanged the Cat. 2 pins for Cat. 1-2 bushings.

Look at Post #29 for the solution to the top hook bolt interference

I got a quick hitch adapter that comes with a full Cat. 1 pin. Just drilled out the QH holes with a HF step drill bit and am using the full Cat. 1 pin on top.

Why the **** do they make a supposedly "cat. 1" QH that isn't? Seems other QHs follow same practice. Why?
