draw bar question

My 3-point hitch seems to be OK, but I think I need one of those draw bar things for pulling things. Here on ytmag they list "Swinging Drawbar Assembly - Drawbar And Hanger Assembly For 8N, NAA, 600 series. Complete kit includes drawbar, hanger and clevis assembly."

Now under my PTO, I think I must already have the "hanger" thing, but whatever hookup I have, it doesn't include clevis. What there is is a bracket and a very large pin, one inch or bigger in diameter, maybe 3, 4 inches long. If I push up into it feels like spring loaded thing, and turn, I can then remove the pin. So it would seem that's how I would connect to something I wanted to pull. So is that what the drawbar connects to or what is it that I have ?

I ask because there are two types. The older type is near the edge of the housing just below the PTO. I looks like the one on the right below:

If you have the one on the right, this is the older style. A drawbar was hooked to this clevis and mounted to the cross draw bar that goes between the lift arms. This draw bar I think is rare but you could have one machined.

I hope this helps!

The hole pattern of both units are the same. So, I would switch to the newer type (one on the left) and buy the whole kit (like someone posted here) for about $100.

Hope that answers your question!

Just buy a replacement swinging drawbar, you'll figger it out.

I've got 2, one with crank-up to whack my kneecap and hold a trailerball hitch; and one with crank-low to crack my ankle and pull some disc-harrows and spike-harrows..... ....Dell

Lets call the wall of the pipe resistance to the water flow. The resistence will be knows as OHMS.

The pressure of the flowing water will be known as VOLTS.

The quantity of water flowing thru the pipe shall known as AMPS.

Therefore, Volts (V) times (x) AMPS (A) = WATTS. \\
Therefore for each 100 watt light bulb, operating on 120 volts,(AC) will generate approx 1.2 Amps of CURRENT.

Guess what, my 12v. dc. BILGE pump has now become my PRIMARY sump pump for my residence in PA. Becuase, the utility lines along the roads a 'bout worn out!

Except in AC circuits where its P=I^2xR (sumptin about the angle of the dangle between I sine and E sine, can't remember 'zackly, but its called "power factor"). I don't worry about it 'cuz PIE are round and cake are square, and its usually close enuff.

Bilges and sumps smell the same to me (grin)..... ...Dell

LOL,

Any how, I calculated that the bildge pump will run for LONG-Enough till "they" fix the utilities.
