Default 84 Newell Towing Capacity

What Is The Factory Hitch Rating For My 84 40' Newell?

I Have Recently Had The Radiator Out And Had The Rear Crossmember Suporting The Engine Reinforced, Since It Was Cracked. Also The Diassembled Hitch Was Heavily Reinforced By An Expert Welder. Attachment Holes Were Enlarged And The Modifyed Hitch Was Attached To The Bus With 5/8" Grade 8 Bolts And Locking Nuts. However I Have Since Lerned That A 14000 Lb Ball Mount For A Tag Along Is Only Available For A 2 1/2" Reciever, And The One On Here Is 2". I Also Realize That A 2" 14000 LB Equalizeing Hitch Is Available For The 2" Reciever But Not Practicle In This Application Ie. Towing Behind A Bus.

Please Advise, As I Have Ordered A 26', 14000 Lb Stacker Trailer.
