Looking for an accesory that will keep the drawbar from twisting. Anyone have a recommended source? Do I need two - one for each side of the bar, or will one do the job? Thanks in advance.

One will do it. There are a few different ones but mosty look like my attachment. Available at TSC or on eBay.

This design looked pretty easy to replicate out of scrap, it's on my 'to do' list as well!

Only use 1 on 1 side..

TSC sells cat 1 locks cor 15$ now.. but I had made 2 for my old fords before tsc was carrying them.. here's some pics:

Here's another I buzzed together in 5 minutes using a piece of bent rebar, 2 pieces if "I" beam, a large "D" bolt, and a large nut/bolt/washer.

Here's one I welded up out of 1/4" plate and a large washer.

CNH sells a 20$ "A" frame kit to turn your 11 hole drawbar into a trailer ball holder as well.. looks like this.

Here's the old ford/ferguson style:

Most of these still need a 'stay' bar to keep the 3pt lift under the centerline of the axle, for safety.

Soundguy,
I purchased the TSC draw bar lock and It will not fit my John Deere 2010 cat2 set up without modification so I plan on making one similar to the ones you posted. I do not use the 3pt draw bar much so am in no hurry to make the lock. Thanks for posting the photos.

Soundguy, How do I get a hold of CNH , I like that A frame setup, with my hydraulic top link hooking up a wagon would be a breeze. I edit'd this post AAH CNH = Case New Holland I'm assuming, can I order the A frame from any dealer or do they have a web order service or ?
