Product Information
Full details
This 19mm replacement hitch pin from AB Tools is designed for securely connecting ball and pin couplings, commonly found on 4x4s and agricultural vehicles. Its key benefit is the oversized handle, which ensures easy removal even in challenging conditions. A potential caveat is its specific 19mm diameter, requiring precise fitment. Key features include a durable construction, an integrated chain to prevent loss, and a clevis retaining pin.

FAQs
What is the exact diameter of this hitch pin?
The hitch pin has a diameter of 19mm.
What is the total length of the hitch pin?
The total length, measured to the top of the handle, is 25cm.
What is the usable length for securing a coupling?
The maximum usable length, from underneath the collar to the top of the pin hole for the retaining pin, is 16cm.
Does this hitch pin come with a retaining pin?
Yes, it is supplied complete with a clevis retaining pin and an attached chain.
Can this hitch pin be used on any vehicle?
It is primarily designed for vehicles and equipment with 19mm ball and pin couplings, such as 4x4s and agricultural machinery. Always confirm compatibility with your specific setup.
How do I prevent the retaining pin from getting lost?
The hitch pin comes with a chain that attaches the clevis retaining pin to the main pin, helping to keep them together when not in use or during operation.
What is the benefit of the oversized handle?
The oversized handle makes it easier to grip and operate, especially in challenging weather or when wearing gloves, facilitating quick insertion and removal.
Troubleshooting
Hitch pin is difficult to insert or remove.
Ensure the holes in the coupling and receiver are perfectly aligned. Clean any dirt or debris from the pin and the holes. Check that the hitch pin diameter matches the receiver size (19mm).
Retaining pin feels loose.
Verify that the retaining pin is fully seated through the hitch pin. If the clevis pin itself is bent or damaged, it may need replacement.
Pin appears rusted or corroded.
Clean the pin thoroughly with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light lubricant. If corrosion is severe, consider replacing the pin to ensure safety.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy to handle and remove due to the oversized grip.
- Securely fastens ball and pin couplings.
- Comes with a chain to prevent losing the retaining pin.
- Suitable for demanding agricultural and towing environments.
- Designed for a precise fit with 19mm couplings.
Cons
- Specific 19mm diameter may not fit all couplings.
- Not designed for non-standard coupling types.
- Requires the coupling receiver to be exactly 19mm for optimal function.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply insert the hitch pin through the aligned holes of the coupling and the vehicle's hitch receiver. Ensure the clevis retaining pin passes through the designated hole to secure the hitch pin in place. The chain should be managed to avoid entanglement.
Compatibility: This hitch pin is specifically designed for 19mm diameter coupling receivers. It is suitable for ball and pin couplings, commonly found on 4x4 vehicles, agricultural machinery, and towing equipment. Always verify your coupling receiver's diameter before purchase.
Care: Clean the hitch pin periodically with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. For long-term storage, consider applying a light coat of grease to the pin and retaining pin to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
