Yes.. they are available and come up on ebay from time to time.. but it is a tad easier just to get a drawbar lock to keep your 11 hole 3-point drawbar from rotating.. You can buy them or make them.. and let me tell you.. if ya got the scrap steel.. it takes about 10 minutes to make one. I took a piece of rebar, and bent it in a right angle. Then took a piece if I-beam and cut two short sections off of it.. Box chanel would have worked fine.. but i didn't have any in the scrap iron pile. Then a found a large bolt that fit the 11 hole drawbar holes... found a nut and flat washer for it. Then I grabbed a bid 'D' bolt.. the kind that has the locking plate and two nuts that holds the 'D' around something... I welded the I-beam ends on to each side of the rebar.. one facing down.. to straddle the drawbar.. one to the side, to straddle the lift arm. I tack welded the 'D' bolt to the bak of the ibeam, so that you could slide the bracket over the lift arm.. the ibeam straddled the arm.. then you slid the retainer plate ont he 'D' bolt, added the nuts and it was connected. Down at the drawbar, I put the big bolt in a hole that would be straddled by the i-beam section, and marked the beam section.. pulled it out, and welde dthe bolt to the i-beam.. now the ibeam straddles the drawbar.. and the bolt goes thru a hole.. you slap the washer and nut on there. Add yer trailer ball, and go.. leave the lift down. Total cost of this was about 50 cents for the d-bolt.. and 7.99 for the trailer ball.. here's a pic.. of that monkeyrig on my NAA... It tows my little utility trailer all over my pasture. Soundguy
