Cub LoBoy Drawbar Brackets

[kajun]

Gang:

Need some help with this. My trac is 1960 LoBoy outfitted with Woods 42 inch belly mower. This is a working tractor.

Drawbar bracket on left seems to be worn and regularly falls out of the rear-most bolt. Can anybody give me directions on how to repair it. I suppose I could have one fabbed but would need a drawing. Is there such on the web? Are these brackets available somewhwere ?

If I go the fab way , I'm tempted to just drill the new bar with matching - mounting holes instead of the easy -off -mounts. The easy- off- mounts seem to be a safety feature , allowing the mower to come free if you hit something sationary , as I often do.

Your experience with the issue will be much appreciated.

This should probably be posted in the Farmall Cub section because a 1960 LoBoy is not a numbered series.
I have a 61 LoBoy and in the process of mounting a Woods 42 to it. I will be glad to give you any help or measurements needed.
Here are a couple pictures that may be of some help. The first is a Woods 42 mounting bracket that bolts to the drawbar bracket. The second is the drawbar bracket.

Thanks for the response . Pictures they say -----; this is very helpful . Unfortunately , I have more questions.

My trac is outfitted just as your pictures show. My drawbar brackets seem to be as in good repair as those you picture. Bracket falls loose from jolting of machine on rough ground.

I'm going to guess that my issue stems from not being able to fully torque the rear most bolt. Do you thinkI can heli-coil that bolt hole ?

They can be helicoiled. You also want to make sure you are using the correct bolt: from TM Tractor- http://www.tmtractor.com/new/dr/324fp.htm
