HITCH ATTACHMENT TO CONVERT A TRAILER-VEHICLE HITCH APPARATUS TO A TRAILER-FARM TRACTOR HITCH APPARATUS

摘要

The hitch attachment is adapted for use with a type of hitch apparatus now in general use for connecting the tongue of a stock trailer or the like with the floor of the box of a pickup truck. In this hitch apparatus a hitch ball secured to and projected upwardly from the box floor is received within a ball socket carried at the lower end of a front upright section that forms part of a tongue structure of a gooseneck type. The attachment is of a greater length than the front upright section and is pivoted at one end to the top of the upright section for swinging movement to a first storage position extended rearwardly from the top of the upright section for support on the upper side of the tongue structure and to a second working position projected longitudinally of and downwardly from the upright section. In this second position a hitch ball on the attachment is received in locked engagement within the ball socket on the upright section and a clevis at the lower end of the attachment is connectible with the draw bar of a farm tractor.
