★ Original cast type pintle hook as used on WWII jeeps and early post-war models. Later replaced in production by stamped type WO-A-10529 due to foundry capacity shortages.
Application
Suitable for mounting on the rear chassis of various jeep models as mentioned in the product categories. Provides reliable towing coupling for military trailers (1/4 ton trailers) and civilian applications.
Installation notes
Mounting with four bolts (7/16" NF thread, 1-1/8" long) on the rear of the chassis. Requires reinforcement plate between chassis and pintle hook. Check condition of spring and operating mechanism before use.
Compatibility
There are two main types: early cast type (WO-A593, often with STL marking) and late stamped/welded type (WO-A-10529, from approximately April 1945). Various manufacturers produced pintle hooks, including Holland Hitch Co. (Type T-60). Original WWII hooks typically have F (Ford) marking or no specific marking.
Historical context
The cast pintle hooks were manufactured by Willys-Overland and Ford during WWII for the MB and GPW jeeps. Due to foundry capacity shortages, Willys switched to stamped construction in 1945.
