Tow Bar - backwards?

Post by Unaweep »

I'm still digging through the pile of Bronco parts that came with my Bronco I bought three years ago.

One item I tripped over in the tall grass was a tow bar that attached to the rear - I'm not sure the reason for this. The transmission is a NP435 and Dana 20, I'm not sure I would tow it backwards.

The tow bar attaches to additional receiver hitches on the Bronco. Neat idea.

Ideas?

Seems odd and I wouldn't think it'd work to tow backwards and the steering wouldn't recenter.

Perhaps the bronco used it to tow something else?? Like a 4-wheeled trailer or farm implement?
