hmmwv tow bar

[DatGuyC]

Informative thread even for those who are sans HMWWV. My question from the outside looking in, are the HMMWV tow shackle anchors available? They look somehwat useful on another project I have.

part number 12342404, like the other guy said much more expensive at about $50 each if you shop around

Thanks guys. Hijack resolved favorably.

Medium towbar 3/4" pin attached to my M998. Also fits the M37/M43 and others. Also shown is the dual 3/4" and 1" towbar end used on the heavy towbar. Note the thicker towbar end and the much bigger attachment pin.

How it all looks when towing a M998 with a M936A2. Rear driveshaft removed at the differential flange.

I was under the impression that flat towing a Hmmwv is a no no unless you remove both drive shafts. I read in a tm that flat towing could be done for less than 10 miles at a speed not to exceed 30 mph. It seems the previous post by 70 deuce showing the front lifted and rear drive shaft removed confirms this?

I, personally, do not see how flat towing works.
If the front vehicle makes a turn, wouldn't some of the Humvee tires have to slide sideways on the pavement?

No one knows if a Hmmwv can be flat towed at highway speeds/distance without causing damage?

 

[MWMULES]

Some say yes and some say no. Here is a thread on it http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?137301-flat-tow-HMMWV

Remove the front and rear drive shafts and I don't see how it could hurt anything.

Thanks guys. Have a friend who wanted to tow one behind his rv.

Figured I'd resurrect this thread so I didn't have to start a new one...

Recently picked up one of the black Ibis Tek HMMWV towbars (for just $50! ) but it's missing all the rubber handled hitch pins.

Does anyone have the dimensions of both the thicker and thinner ones?

Since no one had the answer, I'll follow up with what the correct pins are in case anyone else needs the info for future reference.

The larger pins that go through the shackles are 3/4"x4" and the smaller ones that go through the legs are 3/8"x4".
