Thanks to those that helped with advice on getting rid of my old hitch. In
the end I ended up using a combination of BFH, 7 inch angle grinder, air cut
off tool and a reciprocating saw to get at and through the welds holding
this b*t*h on.
Now that this is done, it's off to the blaster for cleaning and painting. I
keep telling myself it is the half way point. Ha ha ha.
