I've had two versions and been around others. I had a 98' Chevy 3/4 with a beam welded across the frame, and hole for a tall ball to screw/unscrew out. Took a big pipe wrench. New to me, used,04' Chevy 4 Dr, 3/4T, has a underbed beam similar, but with a sleeve ball, without a tall shank. The ball has a pin thru it below the frame. I put antiseize on it, but it's still hard to remove. It going to the wire wheel next time out. Father in law has same sleeve ball under bed in 78 Chevy. His other truck 77' had a 1/2 plate bolted in bed with ball welded to plate, so we always had to stack around it. I have friends with the B/W brand turn over ball out of Kansas, that is the unit to have. It's neat, flush, and nice. Not cheap. Bolts into your frame from multiple pieces of made frames. Has a pull rod in the left fender well,to let ball be turned over by your hand. Nothing cut, but the hole for the ball. There's a cheaper version, the ball merely flips to the side in a machined socket, but don't remember the name, and it's not as ultimately safe as B/w If my current truck had not had a ball, I'd went to the b/w, hands down. Sorry for the long read, but it's a good subject. GG

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
