ABSTRACT:
A pair of elongated hitch bar assemblies including first and second ends have their first ends universally mounted from the forward ends of front-to-rear extending toe braces of the forward skis of a snowmobile and the second ends thereof releasably anchored to the rear ends of the toe braces. When the hitch bar assembly second ends are released from the rear ends of the toe braces the hitch bar assemblies are swingable into generally horizontal forwardly convergent positions and the second ends of the hitch bar assemblies include structure for securing the second ends together and to a tow bar on the rear of a second snowmobile, the hitch bar assemblies being longitudinally extendable and retractable (extended when being used to tow a snowmobile and retraced when stored on the corresponding toe braces) and an adjustable length brace assembly being provided and secured to and extending between the longitudinal mid-portions of the hitch bar assemblies when the latter are extended and in the forwardly convergent positions thereof. A single hitch bar assembly, without a brace assembly may be carried by the toe brace of a uniski and utilized to tow the same.
