SoundGuy, Many times I've encountered someone who is sure it's always been that way because that's all the longer they've been around or aware of it. If you look up Progress Manufacturing Incorporated you'll find they've only been in business for 22 years.
This
Bloomberg business link indicates Progress Mfg was established in 1960 as Lindon Hitch, later changing it's name to Progress in 2004, yet
this Progress Mfg webpage indicates the company is celebrating 70 years, meaning a 1947 start up. Since you seem to be an expert on subject perhaps you'd care to clarify the discrepancy. :W
So are you able to state with 100% certainty there wasn't an Equalizer brand before this company came out with their Equal-i-zer hitch system?
Likewise can you state that there was? ;)
None of which matters in the slightest as the OP clearly has an Equal-i-zer brand weight distribution hitch manufactured by Progress Mfg so I'll repeat - if it's in good shape, properly sized for the trailer he has, and is installed properly he'd be wise to use it.
