massey 1130

ok I have been trying to find out about this hitch that this tractor has with no luck. I am hoping someone can post a few pics of what they have so I can figure out what it actually is. I have heard the term swinging drawbar and pressure control but I got my trator from someone who bought it new and never had the drawbar on it and no clue how to put it on but he had it still. My question is why can't I run a 1 inch bolt through the hole closest to the fr ok nt of the tractor and let it set on the pivoting part. (haven't tried yet but seems to me it would work) Has anyone tried this I haven't even slid it in there might be to short. Any direction I would greatly appreciate cause I have not a clue and pictures I haven't been able to find.
 
Hello,
A picture of the standard duty drawbar assembly is shown below. There is a heavier duty one which looks very similar
and is of heavier construction. The term 'swinging drawbar' relates to the fact that the drawbar is secured at a
pivot point on the underside of the tractor. The rear end of the drawbar can be adjusted to a central position or to
either side in two or more positions. This is useful if you have an implement that you wish to pull off-centre for
best performance perhaps. This drawbar assembly is quite simple as many are height adjustable as well. The mounting
brackets will attach to fixing points normally threaded holes in the transmission casing. There would be no problem
in fitting a 1" bolt to the front as long as it is of suitable quality for the job however it would be advisable to
fit the correct pin as the 1130 is a large tractor and capable of a large pulling force. The part number for the
correct plain anchor pin is 367 073X1 or 366 601X1. The tractor serial number will confirm which is correct. It is
essential that the drawbar is secured in whichever position you choose to use it. The pins to secure the drawbar are
195 356M1, two are needed. Serious damage and possible injury can be caused if using a heavy or PTO driven implement.

Pressure Control is a feature of the hydraulic system that allows you to do exactly that. In the Position Control
section of the quadrant full hydraulic pressure, 2500 to 3000psi is available when you raise the lever to lift an
implement for example. When the lever is in the lower area of the Pressure Control section the hydraulic pressure
available is around 500psi at minimum. As you raise the lever the pressure will increase to the full pressure before
you move into the Constant Pumping section and then into the Position Control section. Pressure Control was designed
to be used with an additional linkage hitch assembly to provide a means of transferring some of the
implement/trailer's weight to the rear wheels of the tractor to increase traction. A chain is attached to the
trailer/implement drawbar to achieve this. It was a very successful accessory but was underminedwith the
proliferation of 4WD tractors.

Thank you so much but the picture you posted is the same one that I do have. So now I have the question of can I use let's say a sickle mower with the drawbar in? I haven't had this tractor that long so haven't tried it yet and really don't like fixing things from a stupid mistake.
 
Agco Parts book has a break down for all the draw bars used on the 1130. Their are 4 listed for it you may want to check their.
 
Hi again, just to backtrack a bit. There are two photos below of the last version of the MF Pressure Control coupler
fitted to my own 1974 UK MF 165. The other image is of what I think is an MF 1130 hitch. This is the roller type which
allows the drawbar to have a smoother travel from side to side. It is then located by pins on the plates bolted either
side.
The answer to your question I think will be influenced by several factors. Firstly, assuming that your mower (cutterbar
in the UK) is PTO driven, is the shaft long enough to have sufficient engagement of the sliding section?
Secondly, if you mount it close to the tractor will you have sufficient room to turn a tight corner without the rear
tyres fouling the mower/implement?
Are there any controls on the mower which would be difficult to reach if it was mounted in the 'far' position?

Yeah definitely not those hitches I looked it up where the other guys said and the working drawing you posted is what I have. The mower came with the tractor but he said it wouldn't work with the drawbar and I am not seeing why unless he was confused like I am with the other hitches.
 
The 1100/1130 used a cone style pressure control hitch instead of the loop style the 100 series used. Go on the Agco parts site as a guest user, early and late models had several hitches/drawbar styles. The three point control knob is pushed down and turned to draft, position, or pressure control choice ONLY in the fully up position. If you don't have one yet get the operators book, it will help greatly.
 
also I did go to the agco site and signed in as a guest it only had a pic of 3 I believe but the standard hitch looks like it but my drawbar has 2 inch and an eighth holes 1 foot apart and regular 3 drawbar holes on the other end that's really the only difference I can see thanks for all the help in such a short time I will post pics in a couple of days tho
 
Well actually。。。。 Our 1100 ( Bought new in 1969) came with pressure control hitch almost exactly the one in David's picture (Only a bit heavier built). Probably designed for The UK market I must be honest we never used it and so it went away with the tractor ( when we sold up the farm ) in perfect condition!
 
Hi Roy,
This PC hitch belonged to a school friend and neigbhour. His father purchased it with a new 135 in 1965. PC on the 135 was an option at that time. Some two years later they got rid of their last 35 3-cyl and bought one of the first 212 165s, F reg. The PC hitch was never used on the 135 or the 165. It was given to me on the understanding that I display it with the tractor and do not sell it on. All was well until some thieving ******* stole the chain when the tractor was parked up whilst on a roadrun to raise money for the Wales Air Ambulance Charity.

The 1100/1130 came with a swinging frame under the tractor. There is a release near the left fuel tank that will pull the latch to release the frame. There are two ways to utilize this unit. Lower the lift arms and remove the two links on the arms. They look like huge roller chain connecting links. You can swing the frame back and connect it to the lift arms with these connectors. I assume you want to use the roller bar. Slide the thick end thru the pivoting bracket under the center of the rear housing. Lift the roller unit up and slide rearward so the thick end will allow you to install the pin. You may have to adjust the rollers to swing freely. If you are using the cone and socket for the pressure control, you will need to place the lift arms in the store position by removing the lower link pin, slide the end of the lift arm out, raise it vertical, and secure via the hook on the side of the upper linkage. It looks like a piece of round stock with a crows foot on the end. Place this in the lift arm end and slide back in to secure. Swing the lower swing frame around and secure directly to the lift arm linkage. Install the socket under the frame as above. There was a drawbar cone that slips in, rotate S lock and tighten the two 5/8 bolts. If you have any more questions, drop me an e-mail
 
The US 1100-1130 all used the cone-socket pressure control hitch, not like the loop-drop chain system like the 100 series had in the US. Dad still has that type somewhere as we used one on the 180 and 165 we had back in the 70s. When I was young and ornery I used to lift the 180 front end off the ground while knifing in anhydrous ammonia fertilizer, just to see if it would. Maybe that's why we started having trouble with the hitch bracket bolts coming loose..
