I went to my local auto shop and couldn't find a hitch ball with a small enough shank to fit through the hitch on my Max. I've seen other people have a hitch ball on theirs, does anyone know where I can find a smaller diameter shank that would fit a Max?

Ummmm.... I don't have a grinder, but I do have a dremil. That can grind away metal? Seems a bit out of it's league, but I'm game to try it. Thanks for the tips guys.

Go to a farm store and buy one for a atv or lawn mower and it will be the right size.
