This is a list of a/c that can all be towed with the same tow bar as they have common attachments - but as always its best practice to go with the AMM
707
727 (Beware of weight limitations)
737 (Depends on Mk)
757
DC8
IL62
A320
KC135
A130
A300
AFAIK, B727 and A300 need a towbar with the pins coming out by the side to attach to the towing lug. Similiar to a 747. A320, B757 and B737 have the bar type connection. Never handled the rest. So, how can all the a/cs have common attachments ?
It's always best to use the towbar specified for that a/c but if you desperately need to push an a/c, try a towbar with a bar type attachment with an almost similiar width of the towing lug. B767, B757 and B777 would be close to a A340s towing lugs width. Everything else lies in the airtug driver's hands. He should push in such a way that does not have unnecessary jerks and uniform and small acceleration and braking. And make sure the towbars towing lug's safety lock is properly locked after the towbar is safely secured.
As i said earlier, i would never recommend this to anyone as it's highly unsafe. Only as a desperate emergency measure.
Another alternative is to loan an A340 towbar from a neighbouring MX operator or request the A340 operator you are handling to ship it in with the a/c itself. That's how the Russian An124s are pushed worldwide.
Strongly suggest the latter suggestions. Would not be responsible for any mishaps for following my former suggestions.
