M35A3 Pintle Modification for standard all hitch trailer

[hankthetank]

Hi Guys,

Is there a modification to attach a regular ball hitch to the Pintle hook on a M35A3? The Pintle hook is about few feet above the standard ball hitch height.

Thank You!

Do a search here on SS in the deuce modification forum for "receiver AND hitch"-all your questions will be answered in great depth, including which part #'s to use.

You should see this thread:

It's an M35A2, but the modification should be the same.

Or do what Clinto said, and use the search for even more ideas.
(Clinto is fast on the draw, he posted while I was typing)

Hitch

I had a US hitch company make batch of Class V (20,000#) hitches for the deuce. They have double receivers (2 1/2" over a 2") and they attach to the side of the frame in EXISTING bolt holes with 1/2" plate. The ball height is ~19" off the ground when used with the Magnum drop shank.

Look up Torklift Superhitch Magnum on Google to read about the company.

$650 for the hitch.

A3 removable hitch

I used the idea of Recht71 building this hitch. The A3 has a cross member located where he mounted his supports so i removed the A3 tie downs and installed 1" plates for the hitch pins. If i were to use 5/8 bolts it would make it super solid. later Jim.
