Title: No.5 rear tow hitch size
Post by: P6X6 on June 03, 2016, 05:30:27 AM

Hello all,
Can someone please tell me the inside diametre of the the rear tow hitch on the No.5 trailer and the depth from the plate welded inside to the tip of the tounge. Or, even better, if someone knows where to scourse the "donuts" that fit in the rear tow point for training. I'll try and attach some photos

Just been out to the shed with the tape measure. Welded plate to tip of tongue is 120mm. Distance between jaw tips (diameter) is 90mm. Hope this is what you were after.

Thanks again for all your help !!

And where will it be legal to tow multiple light trailers like the No.5?
