Now wonder how they fastened the other end of the chain. Hope they
didn't take an eye-bolt, bent the eye open to slip in the chain link
end, re-bend the eye closed...but...from seeing some of the details,
am not going to bet that they didn't do that
Good grief! I seriously doubt if Andersen went to the expense to grind down the shackle (technically, it is called a Crosby clip), polish it, and replat it (more likely, it was done by the clevis manufacturer). There are too many less expensive alternatives out there. Even if they did, one could always retrofit something more suitable. No point in throwing out the baby with the bath water.
Mayhap one of the folks who have already purchased the hitch can tell us how the chain is fastened to the threaded rod at the other end.
