SWINGING DRAWBAR FOR AUTOMATIC PICK-UP HITCH
A swinging drawbar is available that has been specially designed for use with
the auto-hitch.
The drawbars for the Ford 4000 and 5000 have the same range of
adjustment
as those
mentioned
in
Section D.
but the
drawbar
for the
Ford 2i..00
and 3000
differs as
follows:
1
.
Three holes in the front of the drawbar provide alternative fixing
positions
on the front
anchor bracket giving
9
inch (22-9
cm), 14 inch
(35*6
cm)
and
1 6
inch (40-6 cm) positions,
measured
from
the end of the
PTO
shaft.
2. The effective height of the drawbar can be varied to give eight different
positions, Figure H3,
by
changing the position
of the support bracket pin
and/or inverting the drawbar/drawbar clevis.
The swinging drawbar for the Ford 2000 and 3000 uses the same support
points as the auto-hitch so it is not possible to install
both
pieces
of
equipment
at the same time, however, it takes only
a
few minutes
to
convert
to
either
installation,
To do this it is recommended that the
Following
instructions are followed:
To
install swinging
drawbar
(Figure
H4)
(a) Fully lower the pick-up hitch.
(b) Disconnect the hook frame at the rear

and
