Tow Bar placement

Craig Schmidt · Post by **Craig Schmidt** » Wed Oct 12, 2005 12:53 pm

I picked up a tow bar as an assesory with my 353-B2 open cab. It cleaned up real good. I will post a picture as soon as I figure out how. My question is, does anyone know where it can be mounted? There is a picture of my CCKW on the owner vehicle page.

I would love to see the bar.

How to post pictures can be found in the FAQ section of the message board

You can either place it on the side of the bed, like this:

or behind the cab, like this:

or on the front bumper

How does it work?

Yes, that is a good question. How does it work?

The legs of the tow bar spread apart, then the ends go up against the front axle. They are held in place by a chain, one for each leg. There is a handle, that is hard to see in the picture, that is used to tighten up the chain. The legs are also adjustable so the whole unit can be made longer. Hope this helps. Now the question is where I can mount it on my CCKW.

The standard WW2 towbar mounted on a split axle is shown below with the bar standing in the corner:
