Loboy drawbar

Dave H (MI) · Jan 3, 2010

Took a pic of the brackets on the rear of this non-running '57 LoBoy. The horizontal part at the front goes forward to a Woods mower. The horizontal part (barely visible) toward the rear of the photo is a homemade drawbar. In between are two additional parts. Since they are painted the same as the mower bracket I am assuming that neither is part of the original tractor drawbar (MIA). I want to replace the home fab drawbar with an original horseshoe. Am I right about those two parts? Never seen the mower lift because the tractor doesn't run so not real sure why so much hardware. Both sides are the same. I am not sure how original drawbar brackets I see in catalogs will fit into this...um...mess? Is something in the pic maybe a replacement for the original drawbar bracket?

The brackets came with the woods mower. ugly but it worked. somewhere in some dark dealer,s shop are the right brackets.

Thanks for the hit, Bill. Been on the Woods site a lot today and verified that the larger bracket with the big hole in the center is a mower bracket. Could not find a diagram showing the smaller bracket. Wondering if you or anyone else know if this larger bracket is meant for use with a fast hitch on the tractor? Woods made (what I think is) this mower to accomodate both situations....with/without FH. The FH compatible mower had a special bracket for the FH to make them compatible. If anyone knows if this is that bracket it would help me in my parts search this winter.

I think you are right. I put a lot of Woods mowers on cubs, but can't remember putting any on with the fast hitch.
