960 swinging drawbar

Will the swinging drawbar kit (Part No: 49A34R) from an NAA/600/8N fit an early 960? If not, will any other model fit?
Thanks![/url]
 
Row crop models like the 960 use a deep drop drawbar unlike the utility models.

Though a swinging drawbar kit for a 6** series tractor will probably bolt on, the drawbar will be considerably higher than it should be.

Thanks Dean. I realize the drawbar has a deeper drop, my first concern was if the belly mount & hanger will fit.
 
THE BRACKETS FROM THE 800 SERIES WILL FIT BUT THE 960 BRACKETS HAVE A LOWER EAR ON THE BOTTOM FOR THE SWAY CHAINS TO HOOK TO
 
The under differential bracket will not have the pins for the row crop specific sway bars.

The drawbar hanger from a 6** series tractor will bolt on. Not sure about the bracket for a 8** series as the 7/9 series tractors use the 6** size differential rather than the larger 8** differential.

I would look for a salvage row crop in a salvage yard for the correct brackets. Should be easy to find.

the early swinging drawbar system on the 900 looked like this. (I know the bar is upside down cause it's one off my 8n, but it worked) I also have the other style on my
950. Basically used a 600 rear so the one off a 600 and I believe the earlier models will work also.
As stated, the drawbar had two pieces that hung down to connect the inside swaybars.
BTW, if you're going to pull with it the standard drawbar, for height, is better than the drop bar.

Thanks to all for your comments! My '57 960 has the swinging drawbar like I want, my '55 has one like Kirk's picture & I want to replace it. I haven't been able to find a 9xx around here that still has a drawbar - they are all gone already. I did find one on a 600 but I put that one on my Jube as it also had the one like Kirk's. The belly bracket should be easier to find, & I may have to fabricate my own drawbar.
By the way, the 8xx support bracket is different. I have one of those & may be willing to work a trade if someone is interested???
