International b275 drawbar

I currently have several International vintage tractors, sadly none of which have a drawbar. I am currently making one, I am trying to make it as original as I possibly can I'm just after the size of the two bolts in the end. Here is a picture to show you what I mean. I would like the size of those two bolts in the picture.

Every B series international i come across is missing its drawbar - is someone collecting them - or are they lying in a huge pile somewhere?

Exactly, I’ve got three tractors and only one and a half drawbars! Plenty of the frames though! I’ve got a very long Ford and DB drawbar that I’m going to bend to shape ONE day!!!
 
I have some heavy duty steel which is the same size as the drawbar steel and a friend of mine is going to bend the steel for me and drill the holes. I just wondered what size the two bolts that go in the end of the hitch are.

There's many styles of B series drawbar though, all with design differences and measurements, depending on the combination you've got, they don't fit on each others frames

One on the right is on the parts list for the B275 and the one on the left for the 434 - although it shows 2 holes through the drawbar for the lower jaw and not 3 for the B275

Snap a drawbar! Waw! Remember carting sand with a 276 with a 3 tonne trailer with about 5 in it and getting the trailer boged down on one side and tractor was still trying to pull it out with front wheels 4 foot in the air! Dad just hooked chain on front axle and pulled whole lot out with back actor on the digger. Looking back it’s a miracle that the tractor did not split in two but drawbar was still well intact!!!
