3PH draw bar

Thanks John. Another added benefit of the 2x2 inch opening is that there is a lot accessories to fit it such as carry alls and tool boxes. I think I will get a lot of use out of it.

I agree. My neighbor took a standard drawbar, and then bought a reese tounge receiver from kmart .. seems like it was 20 bucks or so. Bolted that onthe drawbar, and then added a scrap bar that was upright. The scrap bar had a clevis welded to the top of it, and accepted a pin for the toplink to hook into.

If I could weld (which I can't) and I had a welder (which I don't) I would make my own too! Come to think of it, if I was an engineer and I had a machine shop I would make my own tractor too.

Both I and Soundguy only meant to share ideas not criticize your hitch. Sharing ideas is good, no?

Hi Mike. Of course sharing ideas is good. I appreciate your response and the picture you posted. I just wish I could fabricate some of this stuff myself. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

PineRidge,
What are the 2 lynch pins just above the rear PTO in your pic for? I am guessing just a place to carry them?

I bolted a receiver to my Gravely sulky. Could do the same thing to the 3 pt drawbar that I just bought from TSC. TSC also has the U-bolt kits and the receivers. Think a lot cheaper than $200.

I spent $70 recently for the drawbar, bolts and metal bars to mount the drawbar to my 3 pt. I've it painted now and about ready to put back together. So, I can take pics and post it. It'll be a drawbar with metal framing to connect also to the top link. On mine, I've an additional hole to run another top link back to the old 2" soil ripper, to raise and lower the back end of it.

Sherpa seems every time that we needed a lynch pin there were none around because we had just set the originals down in the quicksand. So we took two links of chain and bolted each separate link to our PTO guard. Place an open lynch pin in each chain link, fold the pin over and lock it in place. Did I say that I don't lose lynch pins anymore. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
