Abstract
A drawbar for a vehicle coupler includes a drawbar tail, the drawbar tail configured at a distal end for connecting to a vehicle, and at a proximal end for engagement with a drawbar body; a drawbar body, the drawbar body configured for receiving a draft gear, the drawbar body further defining a path for movement of the proximal end of the drawbar tail. The drawbar body and drawbar tail are connected by a releasable connection. A block inserted via an opening in the drawbar body blocks the path to restrain movement of the drawbar tail during towing, after release of the releasable connection.
