ABSTRACT:
An adaptor assembly for converting a pintle hook hitch to a ball-and-socket type is disclosed. The assembly comprises a cylindrical bar of sufficient length that is closely received through the eyelet of the pintle hook hitch and a base plate which is affixed along the length of the bar and extends directly therefrom. The base plate includes a first aperture centrally located to accommodate the hook and closure members of the pintle hook and a second aperture spaced near the rear of the base plate to receive the ball member of a ball-and-socket hitch. Threaded bolts are placed through each end section of the bar and are directly threaded through the rear mounting of a towing vehicle to which the pintle hook hitch is mounted.
