I am new to the list......

I've seen quite a few posts about tow/push bars, including plans to build.

Not having a welder, I'd like to know if anyone has taken a Cessna or

similar stock 'bar, and widened it an inch to clear the big wheel

pant, or otherwise modified it to fit the axle nuts etc.

I am doing my nose gear SB soon, so would like to do any other mods at

the same time.



thanks for any input

Perry,

    I used a Bogart tow bar available from ACS for about $ 65.00 and sold specifically for RV's. I modified the bar's mechanism  to better control the attaching function which would spring closed damaging the paint on the wheel pant. The mod consisted of replacing the stock mechanism with the largest turnbuckle available from Ace Hardware and Aviation Supply company attached with modified cap screws. See photo attachment. Good control and no more chipped paint.
