A pin-drop hitch mount assembly (100) and a method of attaching a hitch mount assembly (100) to a drawbar (101). The pin-drop hitch mount assembly (100) comprising: a drawbar receiver (102) that defines a pin opening (119) and a drawbar cavity (104), the drawbar cavity (104) defining an axial direction and a lateral direction, the drawbar cavity (104) configured to receive a drawbar (101) with a pin hole (103); a pin (142) that is supported for movement within the pin (142) opening (119) between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the pin (142), in the extended position, is configured to be received in the pin opening (119) and the pin hole (103) to attach the drawbar (101) to the drawbar receiver (102), and wherein the drawbar receiver (102) is configured to be detached from the drawbar (101) when the pin (142) is in the retracted position; and at least one alignment member (156) supported for movement relative to the drawbar receiver (102) in at least one of the axial direction and the lateral direction, the at least one alignment member (156, 156') including an abutment surface (158, 158'); wherein the abutment surface (158. 158') is configured to abut the drawbar (101) when the drawbar (101) is advanced into the drawbar cavity (104) and consequently move the drawbar receiver (102) relative to the drawbar (101) to substantially align the pin opening (119) with the pin hole (103).
