Lift hitch and missing arms?

However, there are also the two large arms for the three point hitch.

I do not have these two small arms or the top hitch three position connector (hope I described that right).

What are the purpose of the two small swing arms and are they really needed?

I currently connect my three point htich to the two large swing arms underneath and the single connector at the top.

How were those small swing arms and draw bar used for?

What about the multi posiiton top hitch point connector?

The 11-hole drawbar was used mostly for pulling old horse-drawn tillage and "balancing the draft" so you didn't haffta be constantly pullin' on yer steering wheel to keep goin' innnna straight line.

Me? I use the 8N's under-the-diffy mount (4-bolts) adjustable length swinging drawbar which I mount a regular trailer ball so the crank is up and cracks yer kneecap.

9N/2N's don't have the under diffy mount and haffta make do with other schemes like the jingle-jangle bars..... .....Dell

I have the two large left and right arms for the three point hitch.

Howevevr, I do not have the smaller set of sway arms or draw bar connection which is pistured in a lot of 8n pictures showing the full assmepbly.

I also do not have the three position moutning bracket at the top hitch. I have a dual connector that this rocker connector shoudl go to.

I have away to connect implements, I am just wondering what the smaller sway arms are for?

I know he used the 8N for bush hogging & plowing, but I was never around to see it. Twenty five years later I dragged it up to the shop to start restoring & the stays & drawbar were still mounted on the 3-point.

Since I finished the restore & started using the 8N again, I've never had cause to install the stays or the 11-hole drawbar.
