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.

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
