JD 820 diesel DUMB question

[BadAssRX7]

ok my 820 has been with my for 25 or more years and it is mainly used to mow the 40 acre pasture at our farm. we also have a 7ft boom and a 5 ft scrape blade. but 99.99% is the 6ft mower. after a few of the annuel mowing deals i got a set of sway blocks and installed them. They also included a 3 ft ish draw bar. and as dump as it sounds i dont have a clue on how to install it or what its for other than maybe slapping a towball on and drag a trailer or something. can they be used on the front? i dont have a clue. also read via drawbar searching about a few guys chainsaw mount/holders and or chain holder/tool box mounts. Id love to have a saw holder on the sdie of the chassi so i could scan to see it was still inplace ect and the other side maybe a box to stick stuff like a grease gun, prunning shears, headge trimmers(big scior thinggys) maybe a small bow saw. just the junk i need from time to time when hitting the woodline, driveway/ trails or just to trim up around the few trees out standing solo.

Thanks, David

You can add all sorts of holders and toolboxes but I have my rear drawbar on the tractor, handy for pulling trailers when needed.

I used to have a 420 2 cyl gas, and made a platform that was each side of the engine behind the front wheels and ahead of the brake and clutch pedals. Held the chainsaw (strapped with bungee cord), the axe, some chain, and odds and ends. Was out of the way and very handy to carry the tools needed for the time.
Just need to clear the front wheels when they turn and oscillate, and use the stud bolts in the side of the clutch housing.
