A tow connector engageable with a nose strut of an aircraft for towing the aircraft. The connector has an arm and a base extending therefrom with spaced fingers extending from the base parallel to the arm. Each finger has an upper portion which houses a slideable shaft and a notch located at the forward end of each finger for engaging lateral studs on a nose strut of an aircraft. The shafts are slideable between the notches in the fingers and a pair of stops mounted on the base. The tow connector includes an adjustment mechanism having a pin with a head biased upwardly by a spring to protrude above the top surface of each finger adjacent to the rear end of each shaft to maintain the shafts in the forward lock position. A moveable handle is connected to a compression plate to move the heads downwardly to provide clearance to move the shafts.
