Abstract: A coupling assembly for coupling a tractor to a drawn vehicle or implement comprises a coupling body for attachment to one of a tractor drawbar or trailer tongue, and for engagement with a ball secured to the other of said tractor drawbar or trailer tongue, the body defining ramp means for guiding a ball into a socket forming part of the body, a movable element for locking a ball in said socket, movable second ramp means for guiding a ball out of the socket, and means for operating the movable element and second ramp means between a locking position in which the ball is held in the socket and a release position in which the ball is free to move out of the socket up the second ramp means.

Abstract: A mounting plate enables the stand to be mounted to any standard hitch bar. A front leg is pivoted by the upper end thereof to the front of the plate and extends downwardly and rearwardly thereof, terminating in a curved ground engaging skid. Over-center linkage is pivoted between the skid and the mounting plate extending upwardly and rearwardly towards said mounting plate when in the extended position. A lever action makes or breaks the over-center linkage thereby extending or retracting the jack stand.
