There is a repair kit available for them, Check Reese parts, Mine broke What I did was to get a dermal tool and grind out the old pin Purchased a pin at a local hardware store and had it welded in place. Just make sure before you get it welded that you have the pawl in the correct position

Contact the WDH manufacture directly, "request" firmly for a free replacement........, who knows it may be a material defect issue.

I found an email address for Fastway and send them the pictures. Hopefully I'll hear something soon. It looks like rust helped that pin weaken a bit but I may have set the hitch down on the pawl.

Interesting that the price label and the made in China label outlasted the part...

Lol...good point, Seann45! SouthCo, It's a 2 year old hitch. We are weekend campers and go about 6-8 times a year so it doesn't have that much use on it.

Update: Progressive had me send them the pictures of the hitch. They are shipping me a replacement head and a return label to send the old one back. I hope they include the nylock nuts I need.

Progressive is a good company and stands behind their products! They are usually a little pricier than the competition, but "ya get what ya pay for!"
