Clevis size? I keep hearing that the size of the hit hitch is getting bigger. It used to be a 3” hole or twisted clevis, but now it’s bigger. Will the new hooks work on a 4” twisted clevis? Or would a guy need to make a flat hitch to pull an occasional farm class? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344194#msg-344194 Fri, 08 May 2026 04:44:46 -0700 Phorum 5.2.23 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345397#msg-345397 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345397#msg-345397 DRW Pulling Forum Sun, 30 Mar 2025 07:43:39 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345217#msg-345217 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345217#msg-345217

I think it's fair to say that most people have enjoyed watching you call the kettle black.

I think you should try again, bud. This post right here is only my third reply to the thread. Nice try though.]]> Captain Pulling Forum Tue, 18 Mar 2025 20:28:49 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345193#msg-345193 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345193#msg-345193

BFS could stand for a lot of things. You obviously have no clue the point that Jake and RCP are making, that the hole can be big enough to defeat the purpose of the tab that is supposed to keep the hook from coming out.

What do you pull?

What do I pull? Modified 4wd truck and a blown 2wd. For several years. To say I have no clue is foolish. I’ve been around long enough to know what the rule is and how it’s written. And you still get guys showing up with a hole that’s entirely too small. Nobody is making a commercially available drawbar plate that could physically be cut large enough to allow the hole be cut far enough to let the hook flop out. Anybody with a clue knows what they are supposed to be doing at a regional or national level. It’s the brush pulls at a county fair where this is a problem. Or the antique guys who absolutely do not want to make their stuff compatible with the class 8 sleds that are no longer willing to change their hook every event just to accommodate them. The mandated tab is above any sort of national sanction body and comes from the NAOSA, that takes back to insurance reasons. So where again would you like to insert extra non necessary verbiage in a national, regional, or state level rulebook that will make no change, positive or negative to the problem at hand?]]> Captain Obvious Pulling Forum Tue, 18 Mar 2025 17:03:35 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345187#msg-345187 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345187#msg-345187

If you had any brains you would see the initials BFS. Guess the common sense train missed you when it came by since you think that’s “anonymous”.

You obviously do not understand dimensions on parts, everything has a tolerance, with no tolerance stated 3-3/4" would be 3.7500000000000" and impossible dimension to achieve. If you want to discuss this, further feel free to talk to me in person.

You obviously like to argue just to argue or show the world how big your peepee is just to be right. You’re worried about a tolerance when the problem is guys show up with a hole that isn’t even close to big enough to begin with!!! How do you account for wear on the drawbar plate? Because that happens too. Are you going to start measuring with calipers then?? Get a grip dude.

The point is, if the tab on the hook is supposed to keep the hook from coming out of the hitch, then the size of the hole needs to be defined. The only requirement I see being applied is as long as the hook fits it ships. Nothing is being done to make sure that the hook will not come out of the hitch.

I understand what you are saying, but there needs to be a tolerance on the dimension, such as 3-3/4" +/- 1/8". Most people only worry about if the hook fits in the hole, if it fits it ships.

There doesn’t need to be a “tolerance”. The hole size is given. That’s what it is. The hook will fit in and unhook as intended and the locking mechanism will work as intended. This concept is literally 15 plus years old. It’s not going away or going backwards. Whether it’s “in the rules” or not, it’s what is required by the National Sled Operators and the insurance requirements. Period. End of it. Regardless of what club says what or who “doesn’t enforce it”. Any real association I’ve ever pulled with, spectated at or teched for enforces this. If the hook doesn’t fit when you get out on the track, sorry about your luck. At some point here some common sense has to prevail and a puller has to be responsible for their own equipment. They can sure all read a tape measure to set a drawbar height. Same tape measure can be used to build a drawbar plate. If you don’t have the ability, they can be bought for as little as $50.]]> This horse is tiredddddd Pulling Forum Thu, 13 Mar 2025 23:58:39 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345005#msg-345005 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,345005#msg-345005 RCP Pulling Forum Wed, 12 Mar 2025 02:01:56 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344995#msg-344995 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344995#msg-344995 some do Pulling Forum Tue, 11 Mar 2025 18:38:02 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344982#msg-344982 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344982#msg-344982 RCP Pulling Forum Tue, 11 Mar 2025 09:36:10 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344980#msg-344980 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344980#msg-344980 kurtvtx Pulling Forum Tue, 11 Mar 2025 08:26:36 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344505#msg-344505 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344505#msg-344505 not new Pulling Forum Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:29:30 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344501#msg-344501 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344501#msg-344501 JDRyanB Pulling Forum Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:23:10 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344211#msg-344211 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344211#msg-344211 JaKe566 Pulling Forum Fri, 14 Feb 2025 20:07:05 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344210#msg-344210 Re: Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344210#msg-344210 BFS2018 Pulling Forum Fri, 14 Feb 2025 19:55:11 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344194#msg-344194 Clevis size? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344194,344194#msg-344194 kurtvtx Pulling Forum Fri, 14 Feb 2025 12:55:49 -0800
