I would likely try to design one that did not stick out of the wheel pants, but this should work nicely. Blue Skies, Dennis W.

I never got past finger painting in school. I thought about what I wanted, borrowed my friends lathe, and cut it out of some old shaft material from work. I actually found the tow bar on ebay for $40, then made the pins to fit the bar. I decided to weld them onto the new caster assembly near the pivot, instead of the axle, better leverage.
