Abstract
A link assembly for a hitch includes a first link and a second link. The second link has first and second spaced apart bores extending therethrough. A coupling member is attached to an end of the first link. The coupling member includes first and second spaced apart coupling plates. The coupling member has a load bore extending through the first and second coupling plates and has a plurality of index bores extending through the first and second coupling plates. A load pin is receivable by the load bore and the first bore, and pivotally couples the second link to the first link. An index pin is removably receivable by the second bore and a selected index bore, and the index pin is movable independently of the load pin.
