SECTION 2 - OPERATION

DRAWBAR ASSEMBLY

The drawbar height is fixed and must not be

altered. It is designed to produce maximum

traction for the wheelbase, tire size, weight

distribution and ballast of the tractor. The

drawbar length is nonadjustable and the hitch pin

distance is 508 mm (20″) from the end of the PTO

shaft if the tractor is equipped with the optional

PTO.

The bolt-on clevis on the manual hitch pin, 1, can

be removed and bolted to the bottom of the

drawbar to accommodate implement and PTO

hookup.

IMPORTANT: A clip pin must be installed

through the drawbar pin to hold it when the clevis

is flipped over for PTO use.

IMPORTANT: This arrangement is not approved

with the Automatic Hitch Pin.

The drawbar is free--swinging and should be

positioned for the best performance and the

least side draft. There are five drawbar

positions on a unit without a 3--point hitch

option. To swing the drawbar, pull the hairpin

clips, 1, from the wear blocks, 2. Remove the

wear blocks, swing the drawbar to the desired

position, and reinstall the wear blocks. On

tractors without 3--point hitch, one single pin is

used on any position except the center

position, where two are used.

NOTE: Drawbar with Manual Hitch Pin

shown.

On tractors that have a 3-point hitch installed,

both wear block pins can be installed when

the drawbar is swung to the right or left

position. Three-point hitch equipped tractors

have three drawbar positions.

Choose a position that is right for the job and

insert the pin and wear block(s) in that

position to keep the drawbar from moving.
