If your lucky. Hmmwv's use 3/4" pins and different feet size than M35s use 1" pins and feet for the same size pin.

Light/Medium towbar visual aid: Light is on left, tube is 2.25" od, medium on right, tube is 2.75" od. The medium did not exist until the 80's, prior to that only the light existed and was routinely pretzellized by the military. It was almost impossible to find a good one, you had to buy 6 to make 1 and even then reweld this and that.

ok cool. OIF1 always carried a tow bar strapped to front bumper beams. sometimes was convoy security so we were bobtail now and then. not a bettn man but the 818 w/5k was easily towed with my assigned average looking tow bar no complaints except how to connect air lines. gotter done but my preference is to disco trailer of whatever kind and tow broke bobtail. re hook up to trailer with any available operational bobtail. leave something on the side of the road at sunset it will be gone by sunrise or missing pumps engines ect. 5k in pix has some fresh AK holes. the JP8 made desert sand stick and look pretty. cots were a bit stinky on roof of tanker

Well your listing on the pins is either inaccurate by the seller or he does not know what he is selling.

Yeah Simp is correct the seller didn't know what he was listing, humvee is a 3/4" pin, CUCV, M35, M809, and M939 all use a 1" pin.

Contact Fuzzytoaster on this site he did have feet and correct pins, 1 inch for M#
35 and up, his prices were very good. Evil knows his tow bars and believe me if he says its heavy, ITS HEAVY , I said ,"n[aa. Ill carry it . LOL

 

[simp5782]

Also if it fails i have about 30 1inch feet and 20 3/4 inch feet for medium bars with pins. And i ran out of fingers and toes counting the medium heavy feet yesterday.

yup got the feet w/ attaching tow bar pins were correct with my order, the tow feet to vehicle bumper were tree quarter inch and my ol betsy '71 M818 and has 1 inch feet to bumper frame pins. so one of two things i could do drill 3/4" holes to 1" holes or save em to tow a hummer if for whatever reason that may happen in my travels or somebody calls me when the bar lets out. from my recent spending i/me have learned be smart and know what your getting or talk to person selling item and find out whats missing. when i buy and get correct stuff i wanna rock and roll. if knot it takes the wind out of my sails until i fire up the atv or lawn tractor. thats my story

Some people have used a 3/4"x 1" bushing and used the feet and pins you have to tow trucks with the 1" hole.

Tractor Supply has them in the 3 point hitch pin section.

DO NOT do that.

 

[818 Test Pilot]

I like that idea but i have no 3/4" actual pins and one more thing, was a flight engineer on fling wings and hoisted up to 25k with available 100 ft cable from a hover in the woods or open field. everything depended on everything to be somewhat right for everybody and everything to go home in one piece. i made it this far and i think I'm gonna skip the bushings. in a bind your idea is ok with me

 

[818 Test Pilot]

ok will not drill

 

[818 Test Pilot]

the tow bar i bought from you needs the (2) feet with (2) 1" attaching pins. you have some? purchased the feet by my sneakers from another seller. 3/4" 3/4" holes are a no go. I need to be operational. soon -out-

 

[818 Test Pilot]

i need (2) 1" both ends feet and (2) 1" pins for the feet. any available ?
