Is the drawbar ambidextrous or is one end dedicated to going under the tractor? Both ends of what I believe to be the original drawbar have an extra hole or two the purpose of which I do not know. There is also a metal backet of sorts, bent in a "U" with its ends twisted 90 degrees at the bends and holes in each end.

Geez, you're swimming in DB's! Don't suppose one of your recent acquisitions is an 885 and has a lower, front nose piece in decent condition?
Give a shout if you find a hammerstrap you're willing to part with.

Whether it's hammer strap or clevis bracket, having it would eliminate the trouble I have in finding a D-ring that fits over the drawbar. Must be only one source for them in my neck of the woods. Seemed the simplest way to attach a chain to skid hurricane felled firewood logs out to the road. Instead of the original plan to thin the drawbar guess I'll open up the D-ring.

Scott, think I may have an extra hammerstrap here. Will look and let you know. I'm sure that one of the 6 that I bought in the last couple of months should have one.

Dmat58, that looks more like a 770/880 drawbar with the teardrop on the front of the drawbar. All of my 885's have a round hole.

IIRC, the end with the 1 inch hole and another about 8 inches away go under the tractor, this allows the drawbar to be shortened or lengthened. The implement end is as you say with a 1 inch hole at the end. When the tractor was new there was a piece that bolted to those smaller holes that made a fork or clevis. Most of those pieces got taken off as soon as the tractor was delivered to the farm. I always figured it was something they used or needed in Great Britain for the way their implements were set up. Those drawbars are really thick, but you may want to wait for someone else to chime in to verify this. It's been a long time....

Buzz Saw is correct with orienting the drawbar with the two big holes under the belly of tractor to adjust the protrusion. Those tractors always came with a hammer strap on them for use with pintail hitch implements, (European thing I guess). We always removed the hammer strap and rebolted it facing forward. It was great for looping a tow or tie down chain around.

Okay, the bracket has nothing to do with the drawbar, after I got home I laid it and the drawbar together and could see one has nothing to do with the other.

In looking closer to the drawbar itself, on one end there are two 1" holes. One is on the end, the other about 8" away. The opposite end also has a 1" hole at its end with two ~9/16" holes maybe 4" away and 2" apart. One side of the 9/16" holes are chamfered with a hole in the angled portion of the chamfer, it's as though there is a special headed bolt that goes there, the hole in the chamfer accepts a bolt with a spud on it's head to keep the bolt for turning.

Back to the original question; which way does the drawbar go on the tractor? The working end needs to be thinned about .060" to accept a "D" ring and I don't want to machine the wrong end.

Single hole with 2 smaller holes is the implement end. The 2 smaller holes are for bolting the hammer strap on with 2 special bolts. HTH.
