Note: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch plate and secured underneath with the hairpin clip, or it may be easier to feed the clevis pin up through the hitch plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on the topside. The latter method may be preferred since it can be easier to insert the hairpin clip. Either way will work, the decision should be based on operator preference.
