Anything missing?

Picking up a trailer soon and it comes with this weight distributing hitch. I've not used this type of hitch before so concerned I will not know if any parts are missing. From the attached picture can you tell if it's are there? Any guesses at the brand?

Thanks. Click image for larger version

It's an older model Reese, and it looks like the snap-up brackets and the sway control ball mount that goes on the tongue are missing.

mine doesn't have the sway control, just the 1,000 bars. The snap up brackets may still actually be on the trailer (most likely). They clamp to the front A frame, about 8" or so from the shell. I use a 2' section of 1" pipe I bought in the pre-cut section at lowes to pop them on. It's better than getting too close in my opinion. The sway control ball is like a mini sized hitch ball.

I see the snap-ups, but the picture quality isn't good enough to say for sure the anti-sway bar ball is there.

Looks like it is all there. I think I can see the sway hookup with the little ball on the frame. Jim
