The "holder" for the roller on the draw bar. I haven't ever seen one before. Was it custom made, or where can I find one?

Not factory but many people sell them, OEM, Stiner, Steel Wheel etc, they look pretty professional though.

That roller was part of the HILL SIDE hitch and along with it there was a lever to move the draw bar off center when plowing on hillsides to help with keeping the plow in the furrow along with keeping the dirt up the hill . Was a common thing on tractors around here as we have some humps and bumps . I have a hill side hitch for my S/MTA and Vernon has one for his S/MTA along with the two S/MTA's that Billy has and they all have the roller .Now as for the fancy roller clamp those have long been lost or miss placed and now we just use a couple short pieces of cut off water pipe and bolts and nuts . When plowing is done the lever and arm are removed and place in the sheads as they are mounted to the right side on the draw bar and are a pain and in the road if ya try and mount the tractor from the right side. And oh we don't have them fancy drawbar protectors as our OLD TRACTORS are still working girls.

A rod or main cap from an engine would work really well, and from the junk yard, cheappp. JimN

Are those non slip pads for the drawbar? How do you expect to get Farmer Shins with those things on. LOL

I like those ostrich skin booties. You California guys do have style

They are pads to protect the paint. They are all over the top of the transmission where a person could step. When you spend over $10,000 on a restoration, I suppose you'd want to protect it.

To keep this ol' guy from slipping off the drawbar I got some material from a hardware store that is like black sandpaper with glue on the back side. I cut it to fit the drawbar and now feel confident in getting off my tractor when the drawbar is wet. Getting off the tractor and me wearing bi-focals caused one too many skinned shins!

Non-skid. We use it all over Navy ships for the exact same reason.

You coulda saved money and only spent 9,990.00 on the restoration by not painting those places where the pads and protectors are, since nobody will ever see the paint under 'em anyway!

Seriously, even if it's just a show tractor, it'd be a good plan to take those things off once in awhile to remove any built up dust/dirt/moisture that is bound to accumulate under 'em.

That's not my tractor, so I don't know if he just puts those covers on for the show or not.
