DRAWBAR - TOWING ATTACHMENTS
SWINGING DRAWBAR
The swinging drawbar may be fixed in any one of five
positions or allowed to swing the full width of the
hanger.
Fasten the drawbar, 1, in position using the swing
limiter pins, 2, when pulling equipment which
requires accurate positioning and when transporting
equipment.
Allow the drawbar to swing when pulling ground
engaging equipment which does not require
accurate positioning. This will make steering and
turning easier.

AUTOMATIC HITCH PIN
The drawbar is equipped with a hitch pin that will
automaticly drop in place when hitching up to
implements.
To operate, place the hitch pin, 1, in the raised
position. Retaining ring, 2, fits in the upper notch, 3,
of the clevis to hold the hitch pin in the raise position.
Release strap, 4, must be positioned in front of the
retaining ring as shown. The drawbar is now
prepared to hitch to the implement.
When backing the tractor to attach the implement,
the implement hitch will contact the release strap, 4,
when aligning the drawbar. As the release strap is
pushed forward it dislodges the retaining ring, 2.
Hitch pin, 1 will drop as the retaining ring, 2, slides
down the incline, 5, on the front of the clevis. The
implement is now attached to the tractor without
requiring the operator to leave the cab of the tractor
or a second operator.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to stand between the tractor
and implement while backing the tractor to the
implement. Always bring the tractor to a
complete stop and engage the parking brake
before allowing anyone behind the tractor to
hitch the implement.
