Hayfarmer: Having spent many years with this same drawbar on H, 300 and 560, I know all to well the problem you are having, no one likes a loose drawbar for pto work. I'm not sure I agree with the advice your getting. If over the years you have used bolts to keep swinging drawbar in center, the two holes you are going to mount the triangle plate on will be worn, thus the plate will be impossible to keep tight as well.

Here was my solution, use the swinging drawbar, fabricate a U bolt that will fit tightly over roller and down through the two holes you now use. Then fabricate a cap for bottom that has set in blocks to hold the swinging drawbar firm, from side to side motion. Make those blocks deep enough so hitch weight stays on the roller. I used these during periods when doing a lot of pto work. The down side is they do slow you down if you want to swing the drawbar, but so does the triangle plate.
