Is it not for safety chains to run through?
On the clevis, a few tractors come with a draw bar made sort of like that rather than straight. The ones I can think of with those sit higher than average height.

Hey Jackil,
Just using the wording that NH used on their website. I have the #10. We'll I'll be making one, I like having the upper portion to run a pin through to hook up chains and drags.

The more common (old school) term for that part would be a hammerstrap. No, I don't know why it's called that.

I'm still confused, you mean one of these ?
Willl here showed you what I'll bet most people here use to attach chains, straps, drags etc...to their drawbar.

I guess when you put the hammerstrap on it creates a clevis shaped configuration, just like the shackle in rdln's picture above, we use to call them clevis rings, or hooks or pins, something like that.
Looks like the hammerstrap equipped draw bar would provide close to the same attachment options as the clevis shackle, with less parts to loose, could pretty much drop any old bolt or pin in there, and still have a very solid anchor point.
Did anyone figure out what #10 was? or is it just for a safety chain as was mentioned.

Hey JB4310,
That is for safety chains, I like the upper part better for pulling equipment, I have that setup on my 1066 and I like that you have an upper and lower section taking the weight of the pin not just one pin going through a hitch that can twist in the hole.
I dealer had an open house yesterday and I walked around all the new tractors and none of them had the upper part mounted on the hitch. I'll just get one made up it will be cheaper than the $100 NH wants.
