Hitch Pin for Towing
The MIDWEST FASTENER 51148 is a zinc plated steel hitch pin built for attaching trailers to vehicles in automotive, agriculture, and lawn care settings. Its swivel handle design allows for quick insertion and removal without tools. This hardware suits operators who need a reliable fastening point for towing implements.
5/8 Inch Diameter Pin
The pin measures 5/8 inch in diameter with a 6-1/4 inch overall length, a specific size that must match the receiver hole on the hitch or implement. Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for outdoor exposure. Verifying this exact diameter and usable length against the equipment is the only way to confirm fitment.
Zinc Plated Steel Construction
The steel body handles the shear loads typical of trailer connections while the zinc finish resists rust from road salt and moisture. The swivel handle rotates clear during operation, reducing snag risk on surrounding components. No additional clips or cotter pins are included, so users must supply their own retaining method if required.

Questions about this item
What does the 51148 model number tell me about this hitch pin?
The 51148 model number identifies this specific zinc-plated steel swivel-handle hitch pin from Midwest Fastener Corp.
How does the swivel handle work when connecting a trailer?
The swivel handle folds flat for insertion and swings up to lock the pin in place, allowing quick attachment without tools.
What clearance do I need around the hitch receiver for the handle to rotate?
The handle rotates on the pin axis, so you need enough lateral space beside the receiver for the handle to swing fully upright.
