re: Need to convert trailer to connect to riding mower

I bought a large eye bolt from lowes and bolted it to the mower by drilling a hole in the motor guard to fit. The ball shaft does fit although snugly thru the eye bolt. It won't pull a lot of weight but it works for me. I hook up a small trailer and use it to pick up branches that fall in the yard. Cost I think around $1.50.

Lowes has both the balls and eye bolts so you can match them up in the store. I don't know if this is the right size but it is a close example of what I bought.
