Convert-A-Ball info
Do any of you have experience with this ball set? I've had this unit for a long time, but only used it once to tow a large air compressor, so it's in like=new condition.
My set has a hex shaped, 1" stud with a hex shaped flange on it (two piece) and the balls all fit very precisely on the stud. I'm pretty sure it was Convert-A-Ball brand, but I see all the new ones have a round stud the whole way up to the ball interface. The problem is I can't find any rating marks on the parts, which I find strange. Every new kit lists the rating for SS 1" stud with three ball sizes at 10,000 lb rating, but not sure I want to assume mine is rated for that. I want to mount it on a new stinger and tow a trailer rated at 7000 lbs, but without accurate info I feel like I should buy a new ball and move on. Shame not to use the one I have, though. Your thoughts?
