Does anyone find that the hole in the drawbar is extremely large? At least on my TC40 the drawbar hole must be about 1 1/2" in diameter and any attachment I have only takes about a 3/4" bolt; such as a clevis or tongue on my wagon.

Thoughts, comments?

Is your drawbar the swapable kind.. IE.. flippable front to back?

Good question, I'll have to check it out.

My 24DA is the same and what I did was cut a short piece of heater hose to slip over the hitch pin and position it so that it filled the void in the draw bar hole.

Not a perfect fit, but it beat letting the pin bounce around and possibly elongate the draw bar hole. When the hose gets trashed...it does take a slight beating:p ...just cut another piece.

I think a metal bushing would be better. Many farm stores have lots of pin sleave-style bushings.. probably not hard to find one to fit.

yeah I agree and a solid bushing would last longer. Might also depend on what your towing. I only drag around an 600# roller and the quick and easy fix was a piece of hose that's free for me:D
