Adjustable Latch For Telescoping Wagon Tongues

Adjustable latch for telescoping wagon tongues WAGONS/TRAILERS Miscellaneous 14-3-31 This adjustable latch for telescoping wagon tongues is simple and cheap to make. The latch is about 6 in. long and 3/4 in. wide. I cut a large hole in the outside tube and made 3 holes in the inside tube for different tongue lengths. When you hook up, you raise the latch and extend or retract the tongue to put in the drawbar pin. if you retracted the tongue it'll catch automatically when you drive away. If you extended it, you'll have to back up before you pull away so the latch will catch. (Richard Witkovsky, 1700 S. Murray Rd., Caro, Mich. 48723)
