My DAD did custom baling for many years after He got out of the service after WW II with an IH #50-T baler pulled by an H. He bent a couple drawbars up bad until He welded two together one on top of the other like You suggest, He also welded 3/8" thk X 1" wide steel under the edges of the swinging drawbar all the way out to almost the tip of the drawbar. When He traded the '39 H off for the '54 Super H back in 1967 He kept the beefed-up drawbar. We haven't been able to bend it with anything We ever tried to do with that tractor. The H & SH "U" shaped drawbars were only 3/4" thk and the M, SM, SM-TA drawbars were 1" but still were not up to some tasks these tractors are capable of. I've seen the drawbar on DAD's '51 M bend down over an inch on real hard pulls when We were dragging 5000# poured concrete steps back to the creek. We had the chain hitched up REAL short to pull the rearend down and lift the load up while pulling forward. The M would pull them by itself but We hooked the Super M Dad had at the time up and pulled tandem style to make better time since We had a half mile to go.

We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
