CMP solid towbar

[Philliphastings]

Hi guys,

That A frame drawbar appears to be indentical with the type we were issued with in Australian Army service for use with 'Truck, GS Cargo, Landrover series 3' during the 1970's thru to the 1990's

The pins on the wide end go through fittings attached to the front bumper on the Rover and allowed for virtually no independant movement of the vehicle under tow.

There was a larger version for Unimog and Mack etc.

There was also a larger still, telescopic version used during WW2 which had brackets and chains to attach to the front axle of the vehicle under tow.

I still own one of the latter, and a friend in Adelaide has another.

Cheers

Phill Hastings
