3pt drawbar lock?

[SinNH]

I need one. I've been searching the web, but have not seen any unit that would work with my lift arms, because of the adjustment parts are in the way.
I have seen a homemade " shoe" that "locks" the drawbar to the lift arm between the two at one of the pin ends. I could probably weld one up, but a job like that would take me probably three hours and look crappy because all I have for cutting iron is a cut-off saw and handheld band saw.

Google drawbar lock images. I can't imagine that something in those images wouldn't work and you can usually "visit" the image to see where you might get it or give an idea how to make one.

hmm, you mean an 'antirotational' device not a 'lock', to keep drawbar horizontal... places like TSC sell them,usually found on Ford 8N type parts pages....
simple is right... a length of angle iron, bent 90* with 2 holes in it. 1 the drawbar goes throug, the other bolts it to the drawbar

I grabbed one at TSC last time I was there but haven't had cause to use it yet. I have seen where they take an angle iron or 2 and weld a flat on the bottom with a hole in it that gets bolted to the bar. The top gets a hole drilled in it for the top link pin

Here's the one a friend of mine who worked in a machine shop made for me.

Thanks for the ideas. I cannot use the one sold at TSC, my lift arms do not have a unused spot until about 16 inched closer to the transaxle. Found one that would work, I think, at stevestractors.
