dkg520 509 #1 Posted March 10, 2023 Did Wheel Horse make an original drawbar for this style hitch? If they did does anyone have an extra one they may sell? Thank You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,803 #2 Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) They might have but it's just a piece of 3/8 steel or so with some holes in it. Maybe came with the slot hitch?Wicked easy to make. I don't have any to sell but could give you one. I like to run the dual setups. @Achto likes them too. Crap gotta go look for a pic. Not the best but maybe the fellas have a better one. Does require a tad longer pin but another easy make. Edited March 10, 2023 by WHX?? Speeling & Gramma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkg520 509 #5 Posted March 10, 2023 Thank you for your help. I’m trying to keep my 1966 856 as original as possible . So if Wheel Horse did produce a drawbar I would like to find one. If they didn’t then I will make one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,950 #7 Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) My dad was a blacksmith and loved the 953/1054 Wheel Horse tractors. He had several. He made three drawbar hitched for out tractors that would attach on back of the snowplow bracket. These were steel pieces hammered out on a power hammer and anvil. Three or more holes in the back of the drawbar that was made like the International Farmall tractors had. The standard slot hitch could remain on the tractor and be used with implements like a garden plow, cultivator, etc. Edited March 10, 2023 by Lane Ranger 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We just combined a slot with a drawbar which is perfectly acceptable as orginal on your '66.

dkg520 509 #12 Posted March 10, 2023 Thanks. I have seen some older tractors that have a bar in the slot hitch and I wasn’t sure if that set up was original or fabricated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
