Hi folks, I have a VAI with rear PTO, no eagle hitch and I'm looking to put on a rear draw bar. Similar to the one in the photo below. That's not my tractor I just found this photo on the web, not even sure if this photo shows the standard VA drawbar or a homemade one.

I'm assuming any drawbar from the VA series will work except for maybe the high models?

I'm also guessing the drawbar for a VA tractor with the eagle hitch is different and may not work as well?

I prefer one with a swinging drawbar if I can find one and if it will work on my tractor.

I suppose my friend and I could always weld one up if need be, might spend less in beer to do that than buying an orginal, but I figured I would at least try to find an original or suitable substitute first.

If anyone has any insight to the above questions and/or knows where I might be able to find one of these please let me know.

Thanks,

Don

Kestrel's photo depicts the most accurate original style draw bar for a VAI. The very first tractor shows what appears to be a Farmall hitch. My VAI has the Eagle Hitch and I do not see how any other type of hitch would work other than that shown on Kestrel's. If you want to put an Eagle Hitch on your tractor, remember you need room for the cylinder, rock shaft, and lift arms (which by the way are non-swaying). Get out the torches and good luck.

Case IH site shows these parts in their parts search section by searching on VAC. VAI listing does not show any draw bar but it does show eagle hitch parts. ebay has some of these early in the recent posts today.

Neither of the above drawbars are the correct one for a VAC...I don't have a picture of the correct one.

the drawbar in your photo is a farmall H or M drawbar should be at least a half million of them around.

I'm not familiar with other arrangements other than my own drawbar pictured here.
It has a 1" diameter hole and safe low center of gravity. I use it all the time to haul wagon loads of fieldstone.
Soon I hope to have the rear end all cleaned up and painted like the one in your photo. First I have a brake job and rear axle job to do. Thats why the fenders have been removed.
Hope this helps some. I imagine you'd have to do some serious searching to find what you wanted, or go with the beer/welder technique.
