It is imperative that you have a good knowledge of your towing equipment and how it properly works. For your safety and especially the safety of others on the road, please allow your local towing systems professionals show you how to use your equipment properly!
The thing with teeth that keeps the coupler from sliding back, what is that? And what do I do if mine is missing that?
Sir, I apologize but do not know how this works or if I can contact you directly. I just purchased a vintage 1970 Travois camper trailer and my coupler looks very similar to this, however all that is on it is the "horseshoe" ring and a bolt. I liked the video but I could not locate the actual repair or replacement video. Do you know if I could replace this with a Curt Coupler Repair kit? Do you know where I can purchase a replacement? Can I, and how would I send you a picture if you would like to help me out? Thank You

Bulldog or a pintle the rest are a pain
What kind of a coupler is this? I have one and it is a pain
Same here. Need to know what kind of coupler this is called.
Atwood coupler. Supposedly you can't repair them, but you can drive the pin out to take them apart. In my case the tongue was bent just a hair behind the coupler which wasn't allowing it to slide back enough. My dad had a chunk of steel just a bit wider than it, so he ground it into a slight wedge and we beat it into the hitch with a sledge hammer... That was after I dismantled, stripped, painted, and greased the coupler parts which did very little good.
Should've used a pin or a padlock just to be on the safe side.
Thanks.
