The bars without the adapters are hard to even give away, it it has one set
anywhere from 50 to 120 on a good day.There is a problem with cracks and/or
complete weld breakthroughs with the military towbar NSN 4910-00-433-7094
and a MWO is out(1993). There is a guy on ebay selling the MWO repair kit
which include 4 steel rings or collars (one on each end of the two legs) the
instructions, two Tempilstik AND a new TM. He starts the kits at two dollars
but he charges extra on the shipping so you might want to asks first. Wayne
