You nailed it Jack no drain or paint with time the rust took a toll, amazing the thickest metal on a well design 10,000 lb hitch except with no drain is a 1/4 inch with 8- 1/2 inch bolts for attachment

I was going to say paint. Im a painter so...

Looking at the Prevost factory hitch the DYI hitch builders sure over build a hitch,I can understand the design I was always told adding thicker iron was not the answer
That looks absolutely nothing like the hitch on my 1980 Prevost. Wondering if it is some third party adaptation.
Since you have a Prevost factory diagrams are available via the online parts manual.

Freds yours is probably not a factory hitch being a 1980 model, both the H and XL here have the same hitch with matching decals on the hitch and engine rail for 10,000 lbs and I checked the parts manual on the H-41 I have and it is a Prevost hitch.Prevost make 3 different hitches and each one has a different engine cradle that can cost up to $15,000.00 for the 20,000 lb hitch, that makes for a expensive hitch
