Drawbar lock mod fits Pat's Easy Change

[carsce]

Just finished a 10 minute job making my drawbar work smooth with Pat's Easy Change system on my BX24.

Not very pretty, but functional. Someday I'll grind the rough edges and paint the entire drawbar the same color.

The pictures are self explanatory.

Nice job making that.
Very clever using the protruding pins as a place to lock the draw bar. Make sure your locks are thick enough so they don't bend under load. They look pretty good, but I couldn't tell the thickness of them. I'm sure you already thought of that though.

The locks are 3/16" thick x 1" tall. That should hold the twisting to a minimum since the protruding pins are only 2 1/2" from the drawbar. Hopefully, that will work, but if it doesn't, guess I'll weld more material.
