Ready Brute tow bar. Learned a few things.
One of the handles that you twist to unlock the arm broke off. They have been getting harder to operate. We’re on a trip, here for a week and was concerned about towing with it.
I opened the PDF and learned that there are 1/2 holes on the arm and you can put a bent pin in to bypass the unlock assembly. OK. I can still use the tow bar.
Mine is fifteen years old. I also learned they added a zerk to lubricate the locking ass’y.
Mine doesn’t have that. I never lubed it as I’m hesitant to lube things behind a diesel as you combine grease, carbon, sand and you have a grinding slurry.
They advertise a lifetime warranty so I think when we get back I’ll send it in for a rebuild/repair.
I received good service from them in 2006 when were rear ended and required repair.
If not I’ll buy some parts and do it mice elf.
