trailor hitch

[Glencoeeagle]

what kind of hitch will fit on an eagle. or are there original ones out there. i just need something that can haul an old snowmobile trailer and a 14 foot boat.

I've got this one here, just bolts to the bumper although it wouldn't take much to add a bracket to attach it to the bumper supports. Where abouts you at?

[Glencoeeagle]

i am from Glencoe Minnesota. i have an 84 wagon. i talked to the local mechanics and they wont have anything to do with it because the would be liable for it. a bumper hitch would be great. but off of what kind of vehicle. a jeep.

Does this help?:

These are hitches Class I. Note the low Gross Trailer Weights (650 lbs).

Below you will find a page of the TSM
The original Eagle trailer hitches were Class I and II
Class I: 2000 lbs with 200 lbs tongue load
Class II: 3500 lbs with 350 lbs tongue weight.
For Class II was a towing package available: rear airchocks with underhood compressor, transmission cooler and Class II hitch.

were some eagles just not set up to pull things. mine doesn't have anything for a hitch. no holes or anything. it definitely isn't set up for a class 2 hitch

Only big Eagles had a towing option from the factory.  I am guessing, if installed at the factory then holes were drilled at that time?

[Jurjen]

For the Class II hitch the four holes for the angle iron are already there (on the wagon).
The holes for the U-bolt needs to be drilled in the bumper.
Class II hitches are hard to find, I made mine out of a Cherokee hitch:

 Jurjen did an excellent job on his hitch, mine is not as elaborate, but will do the job. I'm not in the digital age, film still in camera.

Line drawing is available, could even rework it to the 2" receiver.

This one here posted previously is exactly what mine is like that I pulled off of a '87 wagon in the junk yard.  Didnt know it was class 3?  But that beast is heavy.  Goes on the frame and backing plate, doesnt even touch the bumper.
