Nearly every Farmall H and M I have seen have suffered damage to the fixed drawbar. Usually bent, but sometimes broken. In fitting a swinging drawbar to my H, I made the modifications seen in the pictures. This makes the fixed drawbar far stronger and does away with the strap arrangement for holding the swinging drawbar to the fixed drawbar.
To make this I needed:
2 x ¾-UNC x 4" Bolt, Grade 8
2 x ¾-UNC Nut, Grade 8
2 x ¾" Spring Washer
2 x ¾" x 1" Pipe (to use as spacers)
1 x ½ x 4 x 4" Angle x 31½" long
1 x ½" x 3½ Plate x 31½"
So far all seems very satisfactory. You can drill two holes in the angle and plate to fix the swinging drawbar in a given position.
The swinging drawbar setup is now very similar to Super AM arrangement.
