Grease on your ball(s)??

[fluemasterjr]

I have always used never seize on my balls but if your not careful it makes an awful mess. I always get it on my pant legs.

Only if your ball is larger than 2 1/4--any smaller you don't need any lube.

Yes dry balls make me, er um make a terrible noise. I didnt know folks had balls smaller than 2 1/4. Your talkin inches right? Poor fellas.

Don't forget the 1 7/8 ball.

I use wheel bearing grease and clean the 2-5/16 ball with carb cleaner. I clean and re-lube before every hitch-up even overnighters. Same treatment for the equalizer bars and anti-sway bar. Cheap insurance.

I use a spray chain lube on the goose neck. But on a light trailer like a quad or snowmobile trailer I don't see a need for lube as it only make an un-needed mess.

I forgot to lube my balls once and they hung up, snapped off. I been careful ever since.

Occasionally, if I dont grease my balls, I have to get a set of vice grips on em nice and tight and hit em with a hammer just to get em off. Sometimes, if I havent used em in while that don't even work, so I have to get out a torch and get em up to temp to get em off. When theyre really red hot, ya pich them vice grips on em and whack like there was no tommorow. It that doesn't work you should just have em cut off.

Bob,



I hope that after you heat a hitch ball to red-hot you throw it away.



I don't know anything about the heat treatment of hitch balls, but I suspect that the larger, stronger balls are heat treated. You will anneal the steel by heating it red-hot, thereby destroying the factory heat treatment. I wouldn't ever trust it again.
