Hitch adapter/reducer sleeves
My 21 450 came with two adapters that reduce the 3" receiver to 2.5" and then to 2". I have never used either of them as my b&w tow & stow has the 3" shank. Yesterday I needed to move a bushhog and was going to use one of my old 2" receiver bars. Got the reducer sleeves out and the 2.5" pin hole lines up perfectly but the 2" is off by half a hole towards the front where the lip is. If it were off towards the back I would just slide it out a touch to align and use it. Not a big deal. I will get the plasma cutter out and enlarge the hole to align. Probably a complete one off situation but I wanted to share my experience so others don't get caught like I was.
I also didn't realize the holes aren't round but oblong. Is that a common thing?
Sorry I didn't take any pics but I will when I get back to the shop where I left them.
Like I said probably a one in a million deal that would only happen to me.

Sorry I should have been more specific.
I have edited the post above to be more specific.
