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?

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
