You can buy a small device to keep the drawbar from spinning for about $25. Try any tractor dealer or farm supply. I had one in the early '90s for a Ford 9n, but it was stolen. You can make something like it by starting with a 1/4 or 5/16 thick x 2-1/2 wide x 5" long piece of steel. Set the drawbar at the height it will be used for towing. Then about 1/2" from the end of the steel cut an oblong hole that will slip over the drawbar so the piece will lay up against the lower lift arm. Drill two holes at the oposite end to match a 'U' bolt. Put the plate on the drawbar and the 'U' bolt over the lift arm and thru the holes in the plate. Or you can weld two tabs on the end with matching holes on the outer ends to take a pin outside the arm instead of the 'U' bolt. Size the plate to fit your application.
