574 3pt hitch anti-sway

A cold Saturday morning here in southeast Minnesota, just another day. We may just get above 0 and into the 20s the next couple of days. Just read on Tractor Talk about anti-sway on a JD 2555 with a rear blade, Tire Chains Coming Off. JD Seller had and interesting home made remedy on a tractor of his-criss crossing chains on the inside of the lift arms. However, it will not work on implements using the PTO. So it has me thinking, are there any good home-made ideas of anti-sway for my 3pt hitch on my 574 when I am using my 6' Bush Hog mower. I am not out there whipping around but I do get more lateral movement than I care for. I have priced out new anti-sway brackets and arms for the 74-85 series of tractors, right around $1000. I have people at a couple of used part salvage years keeping an eye open. Have any of you developed or used something for anti-sway of the 3pt hitch on the 74-85 series tractors? Thank You in advance!!
 
Early ford tractors used a metal strap to comtrol the sway.One end hooked to a bracket on the axle ujst inside tre rear wheel. The other end hooked to the implement pin. Very effective!
 
for idea, I would suggest looking at a 695 if someone has 1 around, or go to case ih parts pages for 695 north America model, chassis attachments, three point hitch, telescopic lower links. try 9-120 third page of hitch assy should show sway chains that model uses which are adjustable and should give you an idea of what to fabricate.
hope this helps, leroy
 
Your 574 should have the turn buckle style of anti sway linkage that connects to a bracket under the axle and to the lower lift arm.When I had my 574,I had to heat and free up the turn buckles to tighten them,but after lubing ,they were fine.I used it with a disc mower,and a bush hog.Everything else,I let swing.I now have a 485,and it has the same set up.I would check with tractor salvage yards-many specialize in IH-CASE/IH.Look on the CASE/IH website to see pics in the parts listing.Mark.
