12" drop w/ball http://houston.craigslist.org/pts/553400633.html

 

It looks bent at the top to me. So the metal could be stressed. I would say no. IMO... I would buy a new one and not have to worry about it. I went to high school there in 78 , lived in the Woodlands. I bet it's changed since then .

 

As long as it's not putnam hitch....mine bent. Check out croft trailers for hitches....best prices too.
