did the Model A come with a trailer hitch?

[jimalabam]

Definitely not a Ford Model A furnished accessory...

 

[JohnLaVoy]

Very common after market accessory. I made one that is not so obvious it is on the back of the sedan, a receiver goes in when I want to pull the Mullins trailer.

Good to know this. I might use pins in place of the bolts, so when I am not using it I can just pull them out real fast then.

Talk to your insurance rep before you tow or install a hitch on your car.

Hey Ray.... Do you have pictures of your hitch on your truck?

 

[CarlG]

I have this one on my Pickup. Second picture is the same hitch on a coupe with a rear mounted spare tire (not mine).

I like the hitch Carl shows, and being a reciever hitch, you could make a slip in tool box for it.

Clem could make a slip in beer cooler.

i wouldnt tow anything with that hitch shown in post #4 let alone stand on it

 

[zzlegend]

I might hitch my horse to it.

Have one on my 29 it pulls my trailer just fine. 2200 miles to Montana and back with no problems or distortion. I guess I wouldn't pull a loaded box car with it but the light trailer pulls well.

That looks like pretty cool trailer that you pulled. Is that a HF one with just different wheels?

 

[Dave Mellor NJ]

I have this one to sell for $150. It goes on the bumper clamps.

Ford made a trailer hitch for model a's. He just didn't know it at the time. An old timer told me that down in Texas they used the front axle off of a model t and turned it side ways and ran bolts threw the spring perches and bumper clamps. They drilled a hole in the center he said and pulled cotton wagons down there back in the day.

I had the very same hitch, first thing I took off, thought it was homemade, I will never use it, anyone need/want it?

PS: same as post 4 and 31

Thanks Rodvirus, but no not a Harbor Freight. I built it from scratch. I'm thinking about converting it to a tent camper this summer. I found these pics at mtfca.com

Oldbike99:
Having trouble sending pic thru private message, but here's a pic of the hitch.
Looks like the left arm is bent a little, but that can be worked out, still need/want it?

BOY! Seeing the Picture of that Trailer Hitch Brings Back NIGHTMARES!!!!!

I was in my Early Teens and my Parents Only had a Single Car garage and my dad had our 29 Tudor Sedan parked in the Garage, Well my Sister had a 1985
Toyota Car and wanted to wax the Front end of her Car, and their was just enough room for her to pull the car into the garage behind the A and in the shade of the Garage.
Well she asked me to Guide her into the garage and let her know how far she could get her car in without hitting the A, I got in back of the model A and tried to guide her, Well she Dumped the Clutch in her car and pinned my right knee
between the the hitch and her Bumper! I am allot older now and i have had three knee surgery's on my knee!
I Removed the hitch along time ago! LoL.
