Wanted to get opinions on using a 1 7/8 trailer coupler for the hitching point of a crank down wheel system. I would then weld a stub off the frame with a 1 7/8 ball welded to the stub. I thought this would be easier to build and would make the crank up alignment much easier.
I am concerned about the pivoting aspect of using a ball and coupler. Would this put to much stress on the pivot point. I plan to use 2 1/2 for the pivot point.
