[Rhodes22-list] 2 Inch Balls (and Keeping them on)

[Philip Esteban]

Have you every tried RED Locktite?  It is what keeps most older
Harley-Davidson's from vibrating apart (including my 82 Roadster).

Bill--

My brother also uses the quick change balls and swears by them.
Apparently he's never had a problem. We have several trailers between
us, so it is handy. I still carry the other balls and wrenches in the
trunk.

I've heard of people welding the nut onto the shaft to make sure it
doesn't come off, but that can also make the ball too brittle.
