Reese Hitch Re-purpose

[tleach17]

Well I started with one size fits nothing Reese hitch. I had it laying around in the garage.



I made an upright out of 2x1/4".



I got some category one studs at tractor supply for 5 bucks.



Welded the upright on with a couple gussets for strength.

Welded some end caps and drilled a 7/8" hole in them to mount the studs.



Here she is all done. I'm happy with it. I am going to paint it black when the weather gets a little better.

Very cool...

Now, that's ingenuity!

I'd probably buttress those outer tabs though, if it were me.

That's a good idea. It would add a little more strength to it.
