Re: [MBZ] trailer hitches

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

I inquired a while ago I think...

The consensus is that the hitch sold for the 300TD is a great hitch, but
interferes with with exhaust pipe on a sedan.  The work around is to
install a 300TD muffler on your sedan.

Otherwise, you get a bumper hitch from Curt.  The kind that bolts to the
spare tire well and bumper.  I have installed one of these thing spring and
I'm pretty happy with it for light use.  I pulled my utility trailer with
lighter loads (<1000lbs total) and a log splitter so far.  No complains.

However, I'm going to remove it and sell the car I think, since I just
acquired a W126 300SD that better suits my needs (which involves leave the
car parked in a lot for weeks at a time).  So I'll remove the hitch and get
one for the W126... I think one is available that looks pretty good.

I can't answer that, but some kind soul on this list (or maybe the Diesel
list) sent me plans for a 123 hitch (attached).  I had a TD at the time but
ended up buying a pickup truck before I tried using the hitch plans.

The Mamabenz 300SD has a hitch on it, I guess someone put it on at some 
point.  If you want I can take a pic of it so you can see how it goes if 
you want to get one fabbed up.  It has a 1 1/4" rcvr.

does anyone have a class 1 trailer hitch for a 126 available to sell 
or rent?  The ones shown online are very simple.

BTW:  CURT MAKES 3 TYPES OF EURO BALLS FOR 1 1/4" receivers.  So you 
can install any 1 1/4" receiver and have the euro look.
