Gage,
The reason you got "jumped" was because of the way you worded your post.
Suggesting that if anyone had a spare coupler they should let you know/sell it to you first was insulting at best to the man who originally posted looking for one.
That he was new to the board should have been reason to welcome him to the world of teardrops, not try to run him off.
He requested a trailer part, on a trailer discussion board, on the wanted/for sale page.
So, now with that out of the way, to answer your PM'd question, the model 06 Coupler accepts a 1-7/8" ball (the 2-1/4" measurement is for the pipe/tongue the coupler bolts/welds to.
The two styles are slightly different as you've pointed out, with one having the bolt permanantly attached to the large knob, and the other being separate.
While I can't promise as I don't have one of each to compare, I'd guess the "guts" are interchangeable.

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...
