Need a favor...trailer related

[jayfaro]

Hey guys,
I have a problem...every winter when i winterize and put away my boat, i pull the trailer bolt so i can fold the trailer tongue so it fits in my garage. I'm afraid the wife accidently threw the big giant bolt away. Does anyone have an extra i can buy from them or know where i can buy one? I have a 2003 Trailer with fold away tongue...i have the pin but the actually long bolt looking thing is gone...figures, it's getting close to the season when i find out....thanks in advance guys...

I hope you find the bolt jay. Would you be able to go to any hardware store, or tractor store possibly to find a bolt that would work?

[jayfaro]

i dont know Tyler, thats going to be tough...it wont have the hole in the bottom so i wont be able to lock it and also, with the design of the bolt, i dont think just a standard one would do...this could be bad...i'm really hoping someone has an extra or knows where to find one...

Here you go. I have been redoing some stuff on my trailer and came across this website for California Trailer Works. They have basically every UFP part made as far as I can tell. Click on actuator parts and the bolt you are looking for is in there. Hope this helps!

Hey guys, just to be clear, i'm looking for "pull out pin"...basically, the pin that you pull out in order to swing the tongue in...it's 6" long or so and has a small hole at the bottom for the cotter pin/lock.

If you go to the link that nipper posted:

CLICK ON UFP PRODUCTS, then click on acessories, there's a few different types of the pins you are looking for.

Is there any farm implement dealers around you ? A tractor hitch pin of that size will work.

[jayfaro]

Yeah, that looks like them...sort of. i dont really care if it's painted black or looks like my old one. Thanks again guys!!! I really appreciate all of the help!
