Stainless Steel Cotterless Hitch Pin
The MIDWEST FASTENER 930045 is a 5/16" x 1-1/2" hitch pin made from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. It suits automotive, agricultural and lawn-care users who need a reliable trailer-to-vehicle connection. The cotterless design removes the need for a separate retaining pin during installation. This hardware item ships new directly from the manufacturer.
Cotterless Mechanism Benefit
The integrated locking mechanism secures the pin without a separate cotter pin or clip. This reduces the number of loose components that can be lost in grass, mud or workshop floors. It also speeds up the process of coupling and uncoupling trailers or implements. The stainless construction ensures the moving parts resist seizing from rust over time.
Fit And Load Headroom
The 5/16 inch diameter and 1-1/2 inch usable length fit standard receiver tubes and clevis mounts found on light-duty trailers and equipment. The 18-8 alloy provides adequate shear strength for typical garden, utility and small-boat loads. It is not rated for heavy commercial trailers or recovery loads that exceed light-duty specifications. Buyers needing a larger diameter or a rated working-load limit should verify specifications before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 18-8 stainless steel pin need replacement due to corrosion in road-salt conditions?
The 18-8 stainless alloy resists rust far better than plain steel, so the pin itself will not require scheduled replacement from corrosion.
What is the first limit reached when the pin is under continuous shear load from a heavy trailer?
The 5/16 inch diameter cross-section sets the shear-capacity ceiling; once the applied force exceeds that limit the pin will deform before any other factor.
Does the cotterless locking mechanism generate heat or noise during all-day towing?
The solid stainless body has no moving parts, so it produces no audible rattle and no measurable heat rise during extended use.
