Drawbar old Massey (165)

pburns

Trying to fit the drawbar to MF 165. It's the swing-drawbar arrangement. Hitch slides in under the tractor but nowhere to secure it to chassis. No holes line up that you can get a pin into. Nothing online that I can find so I must be stupid & missing something obvious?!

It would be something like this if off the tractor I think...

On the 135 - you slide out the bar at the front of the hitch, so it hinges down. This allows you to put a small pin through the end of the drawbar to hold it. Then you fold back up the hitch again, and put the pin across again...

In the pic, it’s the pin that’s going horizontally across the front of the pic...
