Thanks for all the messages about flat towing. I thought it would be no
problem. A few comments about the wheels not following, enticed me to ask
again.
An MTA Club member is buying a (Medium) tow bar to pull his M151 with a
Humvee. He should be in great shape.
Again the Mil-Veh List has proven to be extremely responsive.

Now I can sit back & read the Medium vs Heavy Tow Bar messages.
Between Jerry Cans & Tow Bar Sizes, there is enough info to write several
books. How about the Tow Bar Title " I bought a "Medium", but if it
makes you happy, I will sell you a "Heavy". Or I bought a "Heavy, but if
it makes you happy, I will sell you a "Medium". The best suggestion is
"I bought a tow bar, tell me what size you want & "That's IT".
