Lucas G artic drawbar

[milkloss]

Thought I’d better put this in livestock rather than machinery so I got some views!

Our castor 60 has the artic drawbar that goes on the link arms of the tractor and it’s looking a bit worn. There’s a lot of slop in the pin that goes in the main lift beam and the bendy pin on the machine is looking a bit jaunty although strong.

its got to the point where hitting the brakes on a corner results in some swinging about and reversing it can be tricky over uneven ground as it sways. Has anyone else had the trouble and what was the solution? I’m guessing a new draw far is the right way.

Thanks.

Drill out holes and use a larger pin.

The simple ideas are the best

think I might struggle to find an inch and a half drill but I suppose I could cut the pin off and weld a plate on that I could bolt a stub axle to...............

Do you have to do it yourself?

Could you not pay a professional to do it. Be cheaper than a new drawbar.
