Substitute Drawbar Installation

[Like-em-all]

I need some in interpreting the A-60 blade parts list for installing the substitute drawbar (not to be confused with the swinging drawbar anchor). The drawbar is listed with the following called out beneath it:

Bolt, 3/4-10 x 1-3/4 hex head (2)
Bolt, Hex, 3/4"-10 x 1.38 (2)
Lock Washer, 3/4" (2)
Bolt, Hex, 5/8"-11 x 3-1/4" (4)
amd 4 each 5/8" lock and flat washers

I am guessing that 2 tapered head bolts (or stud & tapered nuts) go into the chamfered (lower) holes and into the lower final holes, and that the top 2 holes (non-chamfered) get two regular 3/4" hex head bolts with lock washers.
I have no idea where (4) 5/8" bolts/washers go .

Does my temporary installation in the photo below look correct to you guys that have worked with these things?

You have it mounted correctly (unless maybe needs flipping end to end). My reference doesn't list the 4 5/8 bolts. I assume they are needed to mount it on an A (not Super) using the 4 unused holes in the drawbar.

Thanks for the response, Jim. I considered the "flipped" position which is shown in illustration 5 and the tractor photo (A-31329) of an original 1A-60 Operator's Manual Setting Up Instructions (no parts list). That position results in the slotted/chamfered hole with the slot toward the front and a slight downward slope to the horizontal member. That same position is "implied" in the Case IH parts illustration referenced in my above post.

An original 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" setting up and parts manual shows the slot installed toward the rear in illustration 4 and the parts illustration (and as in my photo), resulting in a slight upward slope to the horizontal member. It too only calls for (2) 3/4" bolts and washers (guessing that the chamfered hole would use the existing stud/tapered nut).

It boils down to much-to-do about nothing, so I may "flip" it anyway. I just didn't want to break something like a final drive housing.
