Hi, all you tractor masters,
While crawling around the tractor, as one does, I noticed that there is a cotter pin sticking out of a plate held in with 4 bolts. One bolt is missing (or sheared off). The tail end of the cotter pin is visible sticking through a hole in the plate. Does anybody know what this is for?
My Ford 640 came with a home made tow bar, and is connected to a "Swinging Drawbar clevis assembly". I did not really know what it was called, but here's the link to the part -

The one on the tractor is missing the pin, and chain shown in the link. There appears to be a short vertical rod that is spring loaded and it does move, but it does not release the tow bar. The assembly seems to have been hit, and may be mashed a bit. This tow bar is in the way of an accessory on the 3-point and I am trying to remove it.
The question is, if I remove the 4 bolts of the "Swinging Drawbar Clevis Assembly" (catchy name) will the oil in the transmission/rear end be pouring out?
Thanks in advance for all your answers, this forum has been a real life saver.
