G'day,
I had a look at the pic posted by Davo and the coupling looks very much like the Alco coupling I had on my Viscount Aerolite, never had a problem with it.

Hope this helps.

I've asked around and I can find absolutely no reference to it, I dont think there is a reversing block on the thing in which case it would be very awkward to say the least

if it was me I would take it off and replace it, if you reckon it is a bother, if it's not bothering you and you can reverse it then "if it aint broke then dont fix it"

I know you are getting the "pre trip jitter's" just dont worry about it, pack up and go, all will be well

Thanks Davo and John,i have worked out how it all happens The trouble i was having was it was jamming the van brakes when i reversed. I greased the 2 nipples , hooked up the car and gave it a jerk and it released, but its coming off as now i dont trust it, new coupling going on tomorrow.

Thanks again fellers
