(quoted from post at 11:12:13 09/21/14) No. That pivot point was used for "drag behind" implements that are not mounted 3 point. Remember, the 9N was introduced into an era of a lot of horse drawn equipment. Most farmers could not afford all of the mounted "3 point" equipment and had to continue using "drag behind" stuff.
A swinging drawbar allowed the tractor to turn while pulling a disc, drag, etc. Use of the brakes helped to turn by transferring power to the wheel on the outside of the turn. The use of a rigid hitch would make it difficult to turn.
The best trailer hitch for a Ford, in my opinion is the v-bar. I have 2 and use them exclusively for trailers or wagons.
Before ever having the v-bar, we used the hitch stays up to the top link, the 11 hole drawn bar, and the swinging drawbar with pins in the 11 hole bar on either side of the swinging drawbar to keep it centered. On occasion, we pushed the swinging drawbar to the right side to pull the Woods Bros. one row corn picker or 6' Woods combine down the road to keep as narrow a profile as possible.

I do not believe the 9n ands 2n ever had the underslung draw bar.

They sell all of the parts here on YT to complete your 8N draw bar. I suggest you buy them and use that for towing trailers.
The setup in the second link is what I prefer.(quoted from post at 10:18:12 09/21/14)(quoted from post at 06:36:49 09/21/14)

Very interesting.
I had my little home made car-rear-end trailer on my swinging drawbar and found out in time that my tongue was too short, relative to the tires. I was just about to lengthen the tongue . . . but as you say, if just for now I use the multi-hole drawbar the trailer might clear the tires if it gets cocked sideways while backing up.
About the underbelly bar. Mine needs a little more steel added where the pin goes thru that sleeve. Do any of the mounting plate bolts go right through the diff housing or can I just whizz it off without worrying about gear lube?
