Hey Ronald, I looked at your older orders and it looks like you have the part # 521876-1 for a base plate kit which is a style that is designed to use a crossbar. You can use that with the Roadmaster Falcon 3HD part # RM27NQ that you referenced but you will also need the crossbar kit part # 910021-00 as well. This will be a big upgrade over your # RM-501!

Hey Ronald, how did the switch to the Falcon 3HD tow bar go with your existing base plates and the new crossbar kit? Your experience could point others in the right direction when upgrading from a coupler-style setup.
