Ringfeder hitch

The manual asks for greasing hitch nipple (#1) on the regular basis.
What doesn't mention, is to keep greased bottom guide bushing (#2),
so after cold and salty winter one may find the pin jammed thanks to rust build up,
which may lead to very educational but rather painful experience.
...and if you ended up following my steps start with pulling out cotter pin
and unbolting big m-f 2 3/16" nut first.

Anyway, hitch is operational again and that brings me to another topic:
if anybody in North America is pulling kinda Müller-Mitteltal trailer 'cause
that's something I'm thinking about.

Surprisingly (to me anyway), Ringfeder has an office in the USA, and will supply parts for these things. I dealt with them last year and they were extremely helpful and easy to deal with.

Those trailers are to Unimogs, what sankey trailers are to Land Rovers, they seem to go hand-in-hand.

Very nice looking trailers though, they look awesome on the back of a 'mog
