H Draw Bar Weight Limit

Thanks
Carl from Michigan

It"s not unusual for the crossbar to be worn in the center, under where the roller rides. The one on my H has a second bar welded to it all the way round. I replaced the roller with a flat bar and added another across the top. I don"t worry a bit abot the over loaded dump trailer, 1000, maybe more, on the tongue.
Good luck, Wm

When those tractors were new, we used to double the thickness of both cross bar and swinging drawbar by welding 3/4" plate to the bottom of each. Some folks call the 1" thick drawbar an M drawbar, and while it was the drawbar on most Ms, M drawbar is not the name. The 3/4" is a light duty drawbar and the 1" is the heavy duty drawbar and was available as such on both tractors. The 1" drawbar would not stand up either without reinforcing.
