Default 50 MM ball for hitch

Depending on your hitch that might not work.

I took my 2" ball to a friend at Moriarty and he machined it down to 50
mm at the waist. It wouldn't work. So he rounded down the upper half
of the sphere to 50 mm. It wouldn't work. Finally he machined the
entire sphere down to 50 mm. Then it worked. This was on my LAK-T5
trailer which has a spherical socket of 50 mm.

I bought a 50MM tow ball from W&W several years ago. they still list one
for $24.95.

Or, take a standard 2" ball to your local machine shop
and have them skim the 0.8 mm from the waist area.
