| Subject: | Tug or tow bar for the CJ6? |
I have the original tow bar, and already fell on my ass while pulling with all
my strenght and the bar came off.
Also it is useless for pushing the plane back into the hangar.
Any recommendations on a tow bar or tug for the CJ 6?
If it is a good tow bar that is not the single axle kind, I would not mind it.
I was looking at this one, does anyone uses this? Its quite expensive though.

And adapter needs to be fitted in the nose gear (any problems with this?)

The correct tow bar is L shaped, having the leg of the L going through the
nose wheel axle.
Sorry no stock at this time. I have not stocked this part because it is
rather expensive and the avg CJ driver is not willing to pay close to
$300.00 for a tow bar.
One note on tugging the CJ6:
Be careful to not exceed the mfg's stops when turning sharply left or
right. It can get expensive real quickly.

I use this to move my CJ around. The unit can have what they call Yak
attachments that work on the CJ great. They are extra and work really well.

Doug is correct about the left and right limits... Sadly this was a hard lesson
learned at Sun-N-Fun for one of our CJ owners this year. The ramp guys starting
pushing the airplane backwards with a tug and exceeding the limits breaking
the scissors linkage and other damage.
I use this one with a golf cart (google Spoty's universal tow bar https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/universal-aircraft-towbar.html) and for moving by hand, I use my old Mooney tow bar... it is a little loose, but I wrapped some duct tape around it an it works fine. I've seen others who simply use water pipes with a 90 degree fitting.
Just remember Doug Sapp's caution note about limits...

This is what I use. It=99s a remote controlled tug that has made
moving the CJ-6A simple and easy.

A Stearman PT-17 owner who shares our hangar uses the same model for the

The version that works best with the nose wheel of the CJ is T1V2

Years ago I fabricated a tow bar with pre-threaded galvanized pipe sections
and joints from Home Depot. If memory serves me correctly, 1" pipe fits
nicely through the nose wheel on a CJ. Shortly, however, I tired of
pulling and pushing 2+ tons around, so I bought a tug.

Also, Redline Aviation, an RPA Red Alert sponsor, sells the electric

Similar story for me. Used the original heavy Chinese one for years on my
own and customer CJ=99s until a new arrival at our field turned out t
o be a Supertow dealer. He decided I should have the Supertow 1 for the C
J=99s and I kind of agreed with him. He also needed a new AWD compli
ed with on his twin so a deal was struck!
Been using it for about 8 years now. Works great. Some problems with the
lazy-susan resolved by replacing factory bolts with NAS high tensile units

Sorry for the lousy photos. Too damn old for smart phones & computers.
Photo 1; Front view of strut, rotating collar and stop lug.
" " 2. RH view of LH turn fixed stop (FWD).
" " 3. RH view of RH turn fixed stop (AFT)
The rotating collar of course is attached directly to the wheel fork and
inner strut through the scissor links. If the forced turn with a tug is
carried to stop contact (red on red) in either direction any further turn
will break something.
