I had mulled over connecting a tow bar to that area but could not figure a =
way to attach it ('cause holes are 90 degrees from the tow mounting bracket=

Highly unlikely. The tubes are of a heavy gauge and are welded all the way =
around on both ends. They are not just spot welded. If you are concerned th=
at the bolt may be too tight going into the tube you can clean the thread w=
ith a 3/8=94 UNF (SAE) thread tap.

Mike, Skip, Bruce,
Thank you!
Internally thread tube, welded to the frame... do the welds ever break and=
the tubes just turn inside the frame? Sounds like something I'll leave w=
ell enough alone!
