Well I drilled out the tube on the end of the tongue, and the ears on the wagon, and put a 3/4 inch bolt in it.
Turns out that originally there were bronze bushings in the tube, but they were pretty well beat. Drilling it out was an adventure.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
