ford 9n drawbar question(s)... help?
I've no farming experience, but picked up a decent ford 9n,,,, the folks own 16 acres "up north" in the woods. I did the brakes, put on the grill guard,,, floorboards, etc....... had a blade, bought a scraper..... my question is with the drawbar. I've asked around and people say with a load, the drawbar won't spin. I don't see why not. I'll be pulling a trailer and doing some logging.... I'm looking for a triangle 3 point drawbar,,, you know what I mean? You can buy aftermarket "triangles",,, but I see also adding a "draw Bar "A" Frame" to the standard one piece drawbar..... would that be best? Just 2 bolts to keep it from spinning seems a bit weak... The 8N has that extra stabilizer bar underneath,,,, my 9N doesn't have one,,, don't know that it can?? Suggestions or experienced thoughts appreciated!!!! gary

No experience with the 9N but still wanted to welcome you aboard. Plenty of others here to fill you in though on your 3 point.

Gary, I think some pictures might help out. We have a lot of very knowledgable folks on here, I just feel that maybe folks cannot visualize what you're seeing here.

Here's a drawbar lock at TSC:
Drawbar Lock, Cat. 1 - 1000786 | Tractor Supply Company
I've pulled a trailer with my 8N with just the drawbar and 2" ball and didn't have a problem... but it wasn't a trailer full of logs and i didn't tow it very far...
here's the TSC lock in action (not on an 8N, but you get the idea) Northern Tool has one as well, different style though, for $20, maybe not a bad way to go, Good Luck!

This looks like it's part of the 3 point lower arms? I always invisioned the draw bar as like the stinger on a car hitch.

The 8N had the swinging drawbar..The 9N does not have the mounting holes underneath..

I would weld a 2'' square stock to the top of the scraper blade to use a Reese hitch, then you wouldn't need to disconnect from the blade.
