After raising my attention about failure of axle clamps for hitches. Any pics of strengthening them would be nice. Any pics of attaching 3 pt to drawbar to belly be nice to.

Considering adding 2nd set of brackets.
- or strengthening existing ones.
- adding braces to belly mount for drawbar to reduce torque
- doubling angle iron on each side where mounts go
- doubling thickness of arms
- to a complete rebuild.

Any ideas or what you have done be great.
 
Are you talking about the tube piece the bolts go through to hold the hitch to the axle? If so you could get a thicker walled tube then drill the holes to match this would strengthen it in the same size frame as new was. WE had one on our MD that cracked years ago. I just heated bent back tight and welded has been fine since. That was about 30 years ago.
