I ordered the Reese 66078 and shank. Is the shank supppose to come with a retaining pin for the hitch?

Do not believe so. I had the shank and pin but I may be 90% wrong and say that normally shanks come less the pin.

sleeve hitch is a reese hitch , my 420 did not have a place to use this i had to make my own , your 420 may come with one on the back on the axle in the middle its a square hole , this item is needed to raise and lower the Brinly when you grade

This does not come with the hitch ball. I have copied and pasted the following from the manual. NOTICE Using a hitch ball with a shank longer than 2-3/8" may damage the Equal-i-zer hitch head and could void your warranty. Select a ball with a 1-1/4" diameter threaded shank no longer than 2-3/8". Hitch balls with a longer shank may damage the hitch. You need to buy the ball in addition to the hitch. I bought the equalizer brand ball knowing that this would come with the proper length shank. http://www.amazon.com/Equal-i-zer-91006120-Hitch-Ball/dp/B007HRKBNK/ref=pd_sim_auto_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BMC88HGHRC0K1BSMRYN I hope this helps! Also, if your asking about the ball size, again it doesn't come with one, so you can get the size you need. One thing to remember, is the ball is rated for weight just like the hitch. This hitch your asking about is rated at 12000 LBS, so make sure the ball is rated the same. (I noticed at wally world the balls were only rated at 6000 LBS.)

You actually have to purchase your own, but not just any will fit it. The one that comes with it threads into the hitch. It is basically secure, but if someone has the time and a wrench. . .They do sell a locking hitch pin that can be secured beyond just using a wrench. I agree with the answer provided by Maurice Keehan. If the rack thieves are so equipped with tools, they probably wouldn't stop with just taking the rack.

the 66074 does not include the shank insert that your ball attaches to. The 66084 includes the shank. That's why the price is different.

Sometimes other shanks will work but not guaranteed they will work and if you use another manufacturers shank it will void the warranty on the hitch.

The pin screws into the hitch to hold it steady and there is a safety pin that keeps it from getting loose. Would be hard to add a locking pin. I just run my locking cable through the hitch's safety chain loop so the rack can't be removed easily.

I have no idea what the buckles are that are listed in the product details. The hitch is 100% solid (heavy) metal. No pin included.

These are the industry standard rails. If your Reese hitch uses standard rails then yes. Some Reese products use a special rail.

You are correct, however a normal pin with a cotter pin clip would allow easily removal by anyone wishing to engage in theft. A locking pin can be purchased most anywhere.Otherwise, the hitch is a valuable addition to both of my trucks, and my neighbor even asked for one last Christmas. You will be amazed at how far back cars will stop behind you in traffic. Enjoy!

The additional hitch pin was present on the hitch I received and installed today. (Great Day/Lawn Pro should update this item's listing photo.)

Does not come a hitch pin. / As for a non-rattling fit, I use the "Roadmaster 061 Quiet Hitch" can be purchased here on amazon. This works well with any hitch.

it has been a year since I bought mine. If I remember right I ordered the hitch pin at the same time.

I use a standard hitch pin for my receiver hitch. I'll measure it this evening. CN

Yes, there is a lock for the receiver pin that comes with the unit. It is very high quality. This unit is the nicest trailer hitch I've owned. After six months in a heavy rain environment there is no sign of rust or corrosion. I would definitely buy this again.
