I have a little 8N Ford I use around the barnyard to move trailers. I have a piece of channel that goes from the 11 hole three point drawbar to one of the lift arms. A muffler clamp holds it down keeping the ball from forcing the drawbar to rotate. It works nice to move trailers for mowing and things.
I bought a round bale hauler with a ball hitch. It's not the kind you push on from the back, you put them in saddles on either side. I hooked it to the 886 and used the same method to keep the ball from rotating. I can pull it to the field and set down the three point, unhooking the trailer. I can load the trailer and then pick it back up with the three point and pull it home. I don't have to jack it up or have two tractors.
My problem is that I can't get any kind of stiffener to hold up with that much weight on a Cat 2 hitch. Everything I have tried bends and allows the 11 hole bar and ball to rotate.
Obviously I want it fairly fast to take off as it's a chore tractor and gets its share of other uses. Has anyone else used a cat 2 three point drawbar to pull a ball implement rather than the conventional drawbar? How did you keep it from rotating?

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
