Done with Blue Ox - a cautionary tale

RE: Done with Blue Ox - a cautionary tale
Just a little more info in response to other posts. Here’s a another picture of the fractired clevis that I had thought was steel. I see no signs of prior fractures in the broken ends. Looks all spontaneous to me.

Yes I had a brand new hitch leveler to make the tow bar eye ball level. Think there weren’t some serious sheer pressures involved? My new receiver leveler tube is now 1/2” from straight over the 6” insertion area. I’ll leave it to David to calculate the forces involved. At least it was steel. If that Blue Ox clevis had been, I don’t think I’d be writing these posts.

Still awaiting parts!
