If you already fit the ball to the tongue, then it has to be the latch
piece is hung.

I'm going to go take a shower now...

New H-F trailer. Requires a 1 7/8&quot; ball.<br>
<br>
I get a 1 7/8&quot; ball. Test fit the ball into the hitch receiver before =
<br>
installing on hitch.<br>
<br>
Now it&#39;s all put together and the F*C(ING THING WON&#39;T GO ON.<br>
<br>
It&#39;s behaving as if:<br>
<br>
1) the ball is too big (it isn&#39;t, everything is 1 7/8&quot;)<br>
<br>
2) the latch is in the closed position (it&#39;s up)<br>
<br>
3) there&#39;s something inside the ball receiver (there&#39;s not--I&#39;v=
e checked <br>
1,000,000,000 times).<br>
<br>
The receiver is just sitting on top of the ball and won&#39;t drop over it.=
<br>
<br>
Is there a trick I don&#39;t know about, or can I beat the ever living hell=
 <br>
out of this thing (because that&#39;s exactly what I&#39;d like to do right=
 now).<br>
<br>
Everything here is new, clean, etc. I&#39;ve hooked up trailers before. I <=
br>
have no idea what the hell&#39;s going on here.<br>
<br>
Send help.<br>
