M923 receiver/hitch assembly

[Swamp Donkey]

Nice work. Driving on the bottom side of the road must be one of those Northern deals.

Oklahoma hitch build

I'm pretty proud of this one,
some 1" and some 1/2" and my pattern torch machine
and some nice mig multi pass filet welds.

It looks fantastic! I'm just not sure it will be strong enough

 

[rigsales]

Here is the side shot and back, yeah, I'm hoping it wild hold.....
extra bonus, I figured out is there is enough room between the pintle and the receiver to mount my license plate.
Pretty nice that it's removable so I could swap it out if I needed to.
i should have it on this weekend and I will load some final pics.

I'm finally getting around to getting one for my M923. I don't want to grind off the cross bar rivets and I want it to sit a little lower. So, I'm going to go for the Draw-Tite 41947. Then I'm going to add a drop of 10 inches like this https://www.amazon.com/CURT-45112-C...F8&qid=1506728336&sr=1-61&keywords=drop+hitch

I'll be towing either a 16ft enclosed trailer or 24ft enclosed car hauler

I may also go with this.... if it can get me low enough

I figure 10 inches would be low enough....How low do you think I need to go to tow standard enclosed trailers?

I didn't want to grind off the rivets either, so I just made a spacer to set over them. Post 44.

My hitch is on a deuce with 11x20 tires, and I used a 6" drop hitch which was perfect for my trailers. What I did to come up with the drop was adjust the jacks on my trailers until they sat level and measured the height from the hitch to the ground. Then measured the height from the ground of the receiver hitch on the truck and calculated accordingly. That way I got it right where it needed to be.

Hey you did see the weight rating on that first hitch right? Only 5k lbs trailer gvwr. I saw another member pull a camper with his 923 on a drop hitch like that and it bent just behind the ball on his first outing. Just a FYI.

I chose to use a class 5 receiver for my M934. For the difference in price, I have a hitch I don't have to worry about. I use a class 5 drop hitch to achieve the correct height. I set the height to match the ball height on my pickup truck. I posted a couple pictures on this post on 12/27/2016. It shows how I fabricated the mount. I did not have to remove any frame braces or rivets. I did have to move the rear glad hands but that was not hard to do. I am pulling a 32' covered trailer that weighs 13,000 loaded. I added an electric break control to the truck for safety reasons. I have pulled this rig on a few long runs without any issues.

I just grabbed the Curt 15400 on clearance for $122 and free ship from Amazon clearance center (mounting bolts missing), normal lowest online price was $180. Just FYI, great place to look. It just showed up in a search.

 

[Steelreaper80]

Sorry, but which is the best choice for an M925A2? The Curt 15400 or the Draw-tite 41947? How is the install/fit/finish?

I did the Curt 15400 for my M923A2. Fit perfect, I don't have any pics to post but my buddy went the same route and likes his. Looks like they are $165 on amazon right now...

 

[mash740]

I know this is a old post but has anyone did a receiver hitch on a m931a2?

 

[Bill Nutting]

Yes. I bought a class 5 hitch for a Chevy 3500. The frame rail width is exactly the same as my M934. I thought I had some pictures but can’t find them. I’ll go take some and show you what I did. I went with Class 5 because I haul a 32’ covered trailer with my M37 and M151 inside. The trailer weight is about 14,000. I built a converter to conver 24 volt lights to 12 volt. I also added an electric break control. PM me if you want to discuss on the phone.

 

[rigsales]

here is what I did to mine, took some time but turned out nice. So far has held up well. Also gave me a spot to mount my license place. Hope this helps.
