M35A2 towbar Question

[panzerjunky]

Hello Gents
What is the correct size tow-bar for the deuce I see them in med and Lg and will the deuce tow-bar work on an M715? Next who has one and how much do they cost/
Thanks Jerry

Medium. The large takes a crane to move around. Not sure of the pin size on the 715. But the feet are interchangable, to acomodate different pin sizes. The deuce is one inch.

M715 takes a 3/4 " pin and the medium tow bar .. The Medium toe bar with 1 " tow bar feet is correct for the Duece and 5 Ton trucks . The CUCV, Hummer, M715 use the 1" pin to 3/4" pin on a medium tow bar !!There is alos a medium light tow bar for the CUCV, M880, M715, Hummer and M151 trucks as well .

Don't forget that the M715 has specific adapters because of the lift shackle configuration. These may be more difficult and expensive to find. Check the classifieds, saw one in there yesterday. Ebay could be a decent route depending on where it ships from. Weight with deuce adapters and pins is right at 142#.

Look at the boulder he needed as a balast! WOW!

Yes, without my counter weight back there, moving the heavy towbar around makes that little tractor a bit tippy. (glad I wised up and traded off that towbar and got me a medium)


Gimpy, you gonna make the OP a deal on half a towbar? Actually a quarter of a towbar.

If he wants one sure. I am already working on the rest of the parts for a completed bar or two. I'm sure I can get slave cables too, just not sure what thier owner wants for them yet.

A Medium Towbar is the size to use on an M715. Also the adapters are necessary due to the bumper / shackle configuration. They are REALLY hard to find and will cost almost as much as a towbar if you find them. Check out the attachment.
