Bill, I do not understand what you mean. Can you send a picture?
Thanks, A. Spindelberger

I think Bill is talking about the trailer handle as we had in the
1980's. My old Cobra had it and I think Komet also used the same
part.

The handle was a loop and lifted up and forward. One would insert a
small clip pin that prevented the forward tilt and thus an inadvertent
release. IIRC, I may have been distracted during hook up and
forgotten the pin and discovered it hanging on the little chain at the
end of a trip. But I never lubricated those parts (didn't seem to
need it) so that may have helped.

The new Al-Ko hitch on Cobra trailers is self tightening and should be
lubricated. Alfred and John Murray told me where to use a hammer to
loosen mine after it clamped onto the ball so tightly that I couldn't
budge it. After spraying some WD-40 on it all was well again.
