I just got done mowing with my JD #5 mower and noticed that it was crooked. Upoin inspection I found that I had popped one of the studs that holds the draw bar support on. Can this just be retapped and hold? If it won;t hold the weight then what has anyoneelse done in this situation? I really don't want to weld it, and I can't afford to replace the rear end of the tractor just for one stripped hole.

My A has one stud rebored and threaded to the next larger size. Early in its career it pulled one of those chaffy IH 45 balers (The IH 50 was a reasonably good baler). What follows is my opinion - On the 45, the plunger weighed about as much as the rest of the baler and as a result the baler devoted most of its effort to jerking the wagon and tractor. Remedy - first check the rest of the studs. I would expect that all holes in the drawbar support are egg-shaped from the drawbar being loose at some time. The other studs may be chewed up. All the studs in my drawbar support are JD studs so I am convinced the repairs were done at the dealer. I also have 1/2"? tickets bored and welded to the underside of the drawbar support for each hole.

Since we don't know which model "A" you were using it is hard to answer the question. Are you sure you stripped the threads or did the bolt just shear off? Yes the hole can be retapped but I think what you want to consider is adding braces between the axle and the drawbar frame to give it more strength. I beleive you will see these braces shown in a #5 mower manual.

I have that original brace if you need it.

I built braces to go from the axle to the drawbar support. I never mount anything on the tractor (loader, picker, etc.) so don't need those axle mounting points for anything.

There was "brace" provided on the #5, but we used it to tilt mounting bar up on the mower so it would clear the mounting irons on the tractor. It was discarded when quick-tach irons were put on the #5, which was replaced with a #8. Our neigbors pulled a NH 76 baler (custom baling) with a postwar A until they wore the baler out. The baler pitman broke at the plunger and was working over my Uncle's red clay and flint rock when they decided they needed a new baler. The A took the 76 to town and came back with a 77. I do not recall any drawbar re-enfocements.
