M1009 Pintle Assembly

[tgtaylor64]

Does anyone know where I can get the entire pintel assembly from? I need the pintel and all mounting plates and brackets that attach to the frame and rear bumper. Mine is completely missing.

The pintle on a m1009 is good for nothing but looks! If your going to haul anything get a class 4 hitch installed. Those pintles will rip right off the truck. Do a search on here and you will see.

The m1009 pintle assembly will work just fine for towing an m416 or m101a2.

I've read that, and all the other threads about m1009s towing. The answers are all divided between the two(m101 or m416). What were the details behind the pintle destruction you witnessed? Mine did fine with a 1000lb safe in an m101a3.

Better safe then sorry!

I bought my pintle with a 2 in. ball combo at the local farm supply store. It bolted right up to the same holes where the old pintle was. I believe the manufacturer was CURT.
