Here is another type of stabilizer I have seen on Ebay. Draw bar stabilizer. . Would be simple to make out of scrap.

I bought my "official" NH drawbar lock from my official NH dealer. I don't have the receipt handy, but I know it was less than $20. And no shipping cost. If it cost any more, I am sure I would not have bought it, but would have made something on my own.

The part number is shown as SPCDB413ODS. I can't find it in a search at Messick's, but it looks like their Manufacturer search is off right now.

See the attached pic.

Notice my customization - it came with a bolt and nut to hold it on. I thought that was too time consuming to put on and off, so I drilled an eighth-inch hole in the end of the bolt and put in a clip with a washer underneath.

OffBalance,

Did your DB lock come with 1 pin only? The one I got at TSC also just had one but the guy went to the harware section and got another one. I like your mod on it.

Offbalance,
I bought one just like the one in your photo and it won't work on my JD 2010. The support arms on my 3pt hook up are too thick and the angle is different. Looks like it will go up on Ebay shortly and I will get out the chop saw and stick welder to build one of my own design.
Oh, I didn't buy it from any "Official Dealer" and it looks exactly "Officially" like yours. Think maybe someone is infringing on someone else's patent?

Yes, it only came with one bolt. I can't see as it really needs more, since there is not a lot of force placed on it sideways.

I did the mod since there was not enough room to slide over the ball on the end of the 3ph arm without removing the bolt, and I only have 1 crescent wrench in the tractor toolbox!

Farwell - I imagine that the "official" dealers get them from the same source as everyone else.

But the interesting thing I just noticed is that there is one of those little gold oval stickers that says "Made in China" on the back, while the "official" label says "Made in Mexico"!

I think it may just be one of my kids playing a joke on me...

Offbalance,
I think that it may be some sort of conspiracy to make us all a little confused. It may have been made in China and assembled in Mexico. They manufactured the draw bar lock in China, then they shipped it to Mexico where they put the bolt in the hole, then they shipped it to the dealer where they used the American labor force to screw the nylon lock nut on the bolt, thereby making it an "Official Part". If this makes sense to anyone then we are all confused. I could not resist!
