Cat-0 receiver hitch/sleeve hitch adapter

Post by mgonitzke »

Here's something I had been wanting to build for a long time, and finally did a couple days before I moved. It's a 1" receiver hitch on one side:

And it's a sleeve hitch on the other side:

Obviously you'd have to turn it around to use the sleeve hitch. I guess I didn't take a picture in that configuration.

Matt,
Looks like a great setup. I see you are now living in Kansas. Did you get a place to play with the cubs?? Or are ya gonna store em at your Dad's place for a while? Hopefully you were able to find a place for the cubs.

All the Cubs are staying at home...I'm in an apartment. I tried to find a house to rent, but all of the ones I could afford were terrible. This will work fine, my Dad uses them for stuff anyway.

Doo rag in the freezer and works great. Kept a wet towel around my neck too.

Other than it was like 115 today, nothing! Well, ok, some people drive really slow :lol:

What I meant in my previous post is that if I didn't have a job here, I would still be at home or somewhere else...
