MDL Towbar Vs Medium Towbar

[rosco]

Mostly, I am familiar with the regular old Medium Towbar and the various feet that are used on it, depending on the vehicle to be towed. Another towbar that I recently saw pictures of is MDL ISC69 (No.2512-100-0) rated at 44,000#. The question is, will the Medium Towbar feet fit this other version and is it being used on Deuce sized vehicles? Thanks

Those are IBIS TEK towbars.

The short answer is no. The old style feet are about 1/8" too thick to fit in the ibis tek tow bar and the ibis tek tow bar pin hole, for the tow feet, is about 1/16" too small for the old style 1" pin. If you use the Ibis tek tow bar pin you won't have to drill anything but it will be rattle in the old style tow feet a little bit. Shave a little off the old stle medium feet and drill out the ibis tek tow bar pin hole a little and it'll work.
