twigg Posted March 29, 2011 #1 Posted March 29, 2011 This hitch was fitted to my '86 VR when I bought it, and so far I have dismally failed to identify it. Any ideas? http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i418/twigg2324/1986%20Yamaha%20Venture%20Royale/IMG_0501.jpg http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i418/twigg2324/1986%20Yamaha%20Venture%20Royale/IMG_0502.jpg http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i418/twigg2324/1986%20Yamaha%20Venture%20Royale/IMG_0505.jpg
GolfVenture Posted March 29, 2011 #2 Posted March 29, 2011 It could be a Bushtec hitch. Do a search on it.

Reddog170 Posted March 29, 2011 #4 Posted March 29, 2011 Looks exactly what farmers do with there grain wagons. You put the pin through, weld it in place and now you can hook up and move a wagon in half the time. Shaun

Reddog170 Posted March 29, 2011 #6 Posted March 29, 2011 I have moved them with a 125 three wheeler. But like I said, I am a little off my rocker. LOL. Interested to find out who made this hitch though. Shaun
royalstar09 Posted March 29, 2011 #7 Posted March 29, 2011 looks completly home made to me. That appears to be a standard wheel nut from a automobile as well just sort of stuck on there. Does it thread on like with a stud inside??

Does it thread on like with a stud inside?? It's not homemade. It's a professional machined fitting. The top part is a cover which screws down onto an internal thread. The peg is machined at the top to engage into something. It's a very nice looking unit, I just don't know the origin.
Condor Posted March 29, 2011 #9 Posted March 29, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's an older Bustec hitch. I have a couple of Bustec MKII trailer hitches and nether one is what they currently offer. To make absolutely sure send them a pic. That's what I did. I might also add that what little I can see of the electrical plug, it's looks kinda Bushy... :cody
twigg Posted March 31, 2011 Author #11 Posted March 31, 2011 Steve, It's an early Bushtec. Rick Thanks Rick.
