Can anyone suggest where to find a trailer hitch for the wagon? Also, is towing adviseable with this car? Do they tow ok? Can the trans handle it? I don't have a manual, so I am unsure of the recommended weights, etc.
Thanks for your time!

towing weights

The MB Owners Manual says 750kg/1655lb unbraked, 1500kg/3305lb braked.

You can download a feature detailing fitment of a tow bar to my 230TE from http://www.pgan.com/andrew/features.shtml (scroll to the bottom).

Ive purchased two w123 wagons, one runs the other does not. I'm bringing them back from texas to chicago. can I tow the one with the other. They are both road worthy just the one has a cracked head.

A 123T weighs about 1500kg (1480kg for a 200, up to 1620kg for a 300TD-T). Add a trailer and you're way over the towing limit.

you could possibly flat tow the out of comission MB. check out any place that would sell towing/hauling equiptment for a tow bar. usually they run about 100 bucks, you will need to wire up the signals on the dead MB too.

towing limits

You'd still be towing 1500kg unbraked with a vehicle rated to tow 750kg. I wouldn't.
