[AT] Truck hitch questions

[Almost-Running Deere]

I've the same problem in PA.  I have found that taking it our a couple times a year is partly the answer.  But the absolute best thing is to use it and while the rust forms it never builds up,  To loosen a reciever that wont come out I've found that a 2 mile drive with a trailer attached loosens things up pretty well.  The one thing I've learned is to never buy a locking pin because the salt rusts the lock shut in 6 months and then you have to cut them off

I've tried using a wire brush but haven't been able to get it far enough into the receiver to make any difference.  Greese and other lubricants haven't helped either, I will have to try the 2x2 trick, what I'm afraid of it if I force it in, it may never come out again. My hitch is set up with a plate welded to the back of the receiver so I can't pound it out from the other side.> > > > Here's another question, assuming I get it to work again, is there any way to keep it functional?
