Keep your B&W towing system locked and ready with the correct OEM-spec hitch pin. The TS51242 is a dedicated replacement and service pin for B&W's Dual Ball Pintle combo hitches and the Continuum weight distribution system -- two of the most popular towing platforms B&W produces. If your existing pin is worn, bent, or simply missing, this is the part you need to restore full function without replacing the entire head assembly.
B&W Hitches designs each component in their towing lineup to tight tolerances, and the hitch pin is no exception. The TS51242 is engineered to work across two distinct B&W product families: the Dual Ball Pintle combination hitch -- which allows users to swap between a pintle hook, a 2-inch ball, and a 2-5/16-inch ball in a single shank -- and the Continuum weight distribution head, which uses a continuous bar system to transfer tongue weight back to the tow vehicle's front axle.
A loose, damaged, or incorrect pin in either of these systems can compromise the integrity of the connection under load. Using the factory-specified TS51242 ensures correct fit, correct engagement depth, and peace of mind on the road.
Factory-specified pin for Dual Ball Pintle combo hitches and the Continuum weight distribution head. No drilling, no adapters.
At 7 x 3.5 x 2 inches and just 1 lb, this pin is dimensioned to exact B&W tolerances for positive engagement every time.
One part number serves both the Pintle combo head and the Continuum WDH system, simplifying your spare-parts inventory.
Lightweight at 1 lb with a simple install -- carry a spare in your tow vehicle or trailer toolbox for roadside peace of mind.
B&W's Dual Ball Pintle hitch combines three towing configurations into one receiver-mounted head. Users can engage the pintle hook for agricultural or commercial trailers, switch to the 2-inch ball for lighter loads, or move to the 2-5/16-inch ball for heavier fifth-wheel-style bumper pull trailers. The locking pin mechanism -- of which the TS51242 is a key component -- holds the selected ball or hook in the active position and must be fully seated and secured before towing.
B&W markets this system under several catalog configurations depending on shank drop and rise. The TS51242 pin is the shared service part across that lineup.
Installation is straightforward: remove the existing pin (and any associated clip or cotter pin if present), align the new TS51242, and seat it fully in the bore of the Dual Ball Pintle head or Continuum WDH head. Always confirm the pin is fully engaged before coupling to the trailer and applying tongue weight.
