Master Tow Question

Bad move, let someone borrow my tow dolly and bent he plate the front tires sit on, I removed the plate (had to cut the 1" bolt off) and repaired the plate, have a new bolt and lock nut. Someone told me to put grease on two pads the plate slides on, is this required, I think of cleaning with breakclean?

I agree with zigzagrv, I wouldn't grease it unless that is what the manufacturer suggests. Years ago I ran into an issue with PullRite, they recommended using a product called Slip Plate, a dry-film graphite lubricant.

When in doubt I'd contact them.

I would NOT put grease on those pads as the grease will attract all sorts of road grime and debris and actually accelerate the wear on the pads.

Quickly skimmed through the manual for my master tow and didn't see anything about lubrication for the plate. But somewhere in the past I think I saw something about this. I would recommend you check out the master tow website "contact us" and give them a call. They have a toll free number. Gary
