HI guys,
I purchased a tow bar a while back and it came with one foot on it.
It is much larger than the standard 1" foot for a 5 ton. I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on what it might have come on or what it will fit.
It has a 1-1/8" pin where the foot attaches to the tow bar, a 1" pin for the shackle mount on the truck and a 1-1/2" pin to attach to something. The tow bar is a little more than 7 feet long with 3" diameter tubes. The pics show a 1" foot next to it for comparison
Thanks
Chris

The one I saw was in a yard down south that had a scrap contract and had no interest in selling parts to anyone. I just happened to know his buddy and got to tag along. One of the few TB parts I have ever passed up.

looks like a 1 1/2" and 1" combo, would be a right and left adaptor, also looks like the 1" side would work on the deuce and 5ts

Thats what I thought too, but this is only the second one I have seen since 2008. I probably shouldn't have passed it up, but I got a tow light bar instead. I think it was worth it!

Ehh, its not much heavier than the adjustable med. They are all heavy except for the original adjustable TB.

those allow you to used a medium tow bar to pull a 5 ton or use a heavy tow bar to pull a deuce. i forget with way. i look into buying some last month but i don't have anything bigger than a deuce (YET).

Wrong, not for the med tow bar.

Adapter for the monster towbar.

You should be able to find it in the TM for the monster towbar.
T.B.F.H.-JR.
Most call the monster tow bar the "tow bar from he11". That uses 1.5 inch pins. This would be for the "tow bar from he11- JR". It uses one and one eighth pins.
