8N drawbar - what does it look like?

Hi Guys,

I have an 8N that had a backhoe on it and the bracket that attached to the back of the tractor covered where the drawbar would be. I
got what I thought was an 8N drwbar but it was a) too long and b) had the wrong size holes. The drawbar pin on the tractor is 1-1/8"
diameter. So I have a couple questions about the correct drawbar.

1) How long is the drawbar?
2) Does the drawbar just have one hole in it for the pin to go through?
3) Is the bracket bolted to the bottom of the rear casting the only thing that holds the drawbar?
4) Can you please post a pic of the correct drawbar on the tractor?
5) Do you have a drawbar that would be for sale? Please contact me if so.

Thanks

Norm
 
The original drawbar used the 3 pt lift arms for support.
My guess is you bought the drawbar for a swinging drawbar kit.
In my opinion, you're money and headaches ahead to get the
rest of the kit and use it. YT sells them [b:3e5e00d063]here[/b:3e5e00d063]

Thanks very much. I see what I have now and what I need. I have the hanger for a X00 series Ford (i.e. 961, 800, etc.). I have the correct drawbar. So, I just ordered the correct hanger and the new swivel that goes underneath. Thanks so much for clearing this up for me. Unfortunately I can't send the hanger I have back as I attempted to modify it to make it work which was unsuccessful.

I'm guessing this was your problem. Hanger on the right will fit the 8n. The one on the left is for 800/801/4000 series

This is a hanger off an '801' I altered to fit the N.
Cut a crescent shaped piece out and glued it back together.
