Hey Huey,

Yes, I just ordered one of those from South Carolina (one of my favourite two Carolinas). Hard to tell from the photo, but it definitely looks shorter than the one I have. It's definitely a different design, so wroth having in any case.

Yes, there's not much adjustment and yes, It's a PIG pulling against the emergency brake springs to get the pin back in. I have spent quite a while looking at the clevis thinking "naw, no way Dearborn could design something you had to adjust before you attached it . . . "

Onward and upward!

Cheers,

ralf
