The 300/400 drawbar is totally different from the 350/450 because the hitch is totally different. I think the only parts in common are the latches on the sockets/sleeves. If he had a 350 hitch, you would be in clover. Even the 3.5"x 8" hydraulic cylinder is different.
I have a 400 drawbar. Not sure where it is though. It is made from 3/8" plate and formed up into a channel. It has a large "swoop" in order to clear the rear portion of the rear tractor frame when the small (2.5"x 8") depth control cylinder is retracted. (2 hydraulic cylinders on the 300/400 hitch) It probably won't work on a 450 but I never tried fitting it to the Traction Control Fast Hitch even though I have several of the later hitches. The 350 and 450 don't use that depth control cylinder so they can use a simpler drawbar. You and I would not be able to make the 300/400 drawbar. In fact, most metal fab shops would not be able to make it. IH used special dies for that part.
I am not a farmer and have no use for a swinging drawbar. I can't help you with angles and dimensions. But if I needed a 450 drawbar, I wouldn't hesitate to make one using the picture that I posted earlier. Dimensions should be self evident if the tractor is inspected and studied.
I am currently interested in this subject because I just built two Fast Hitches for my W-400. One for the rear and another for the front. The front one has required all this heavy-metal bending.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
