I just got done cutting wood at our woodlot and made it home. I unhooked the the trailer in the Dirve and went to get the Super H to move the traier to the back of the house. Soo I hooked up the trailer to the swinging drawbar on the Super H all was well till i staterd to go in the back of the house, there is a slight slope. Anyway I proceeded to back the trailer up to the wood pile as I have done a hundered times and this time S-N-A-P!!! I thought that the trailer had broken in half. I looked back and the trailer with 6,000lbs of wood had taken a huge digger into the ground. bent the jack up and everything. GRRRRR. It broke the swinging draw bar roller bolt!! I used the fast hitch on the Super C to lift the trailer up and then put a ball on the regular hivh on the Super H to move it finaly.

Anyway how do I go about making a new bolt pin the one that was on it had a zerk fitting, soo I guess I need to find a bolt and drill the center out some and put a hole in it to grease it?

I guess that after 53 years that bolt severed well till tonight :)

thanks for listing

Andrew

I don't need the swinging function on my H's drawbar, and often pull a heavily loaded trailer. I've seen more than a few of these drawbars bent. (Mine was when I got it.) I don't think you can do that pulling anything, but backing a trailer is different. Seeing all that, I've got the roller off mine hanging safe on the wall of the shed - if I need it I can put it back on. I modified the drawbar to carry more tongue load and to resist bending to the side. The previous owner had cut off the U part of another hitch and welded it to the bottom of this one; I had the drawbar straightened and another piece of bar stock welded to the bottom of it.
Good luck, Wm

For as much grease as these rollers got, you could just use a regular grade 5 or 8 bolt. On our swinging drawbars, I can only remember using them on the harrow. Otherwise, we left it stationary. An aside to IA Gary-- Are you close to that new water tower? Went by the other day, & was just wondering.

If you are referring to the one at the N.Liberty exit on 380. I am 4 miles west and 1/2 mile north of it.

Where you from and why you in the area?

Stop in sometime.

Be careful when going to GARYS as he lives next to an AIRPORT and traffic jams ect.

Do use the swinging part of it?

Or do you leave it locked in one spot?

If it stays in one spot you can use a plain bolt unless you want it to be orginal.

You can buy a new one from OEM tractor parts or other places. I don't think they are too expensive. Roger

OEMs drawbar roller is very pricey. I can get one for half that much.

You are right, they sure know how to charge for parts. It is amazing to me how much difference there is from place to place for the same part. Roger
