Flat towing a Deuce 1/2 with a 5 Ton .

Towing a M50A2 Deuce 1/2 with a M931A2 5 ton .
I didnt mean to jam it backwards, it was because I was looking backwards and hit the wrong pedal .

I had the same problem with the front wheels jacking to one side. I noticed it happens when I take a turn too sharp from a stop. Because the pintle is behind the rear axis point, the pintle momentarily pulls to the opposite way of the turn. Think of if you had something sticking wayyyyy out from the rear, if you turn left, it sweeps right. The front wheels of the tow vehicle instantly react and there's no recovering it. Backing up with a tow bar will also cause it, so will a pothole or larger bump. That's the exact reason the military advise against exceeding 35mph when flat towing with a tow bar. I've heard extending the tow bar to max length decreases occurrences but haven't tried it to confirm.

While towing a Duce and half como truck with my M543 wrecker one of the pins came out of the towed vehicles bumper, I looked in my mirror and the Duce was going from one side the road to the other side giving the driver and the shot gunner a wild ride.hahahahaha

As noted above: extend the tow bar to its maximum length as this eases the geometry of the tow. Add safety chains between the tower and the towee; and tie the steering wheel in the towee. Allow for some steering in the tie-down, to 75% of a full turn left or right.

I'm happy with the head model, for a Ford Jeep African
