20 year old tow bar. Repair or replace
I have a 20 year old Blue Ox tow bar that came with my toad. I don't know if there was any abuse before I got it but it I have had no issues for 2 years until today when 1 arm failed to lock. Called Blue Ox and they suggest replacing the whole thing every 10 years but gave me part #'s to rebuild it. I can rebuild it barring any unseen issues for <$100 and new ones cost 5X plus more than that. Would any one have issues using a 20 year old tow bar that had been rebuilt based on the suggestion to replace every 10yrs or 60,000 miles?
