Does anyone know where I might find a drawbar for a Ford 961 Row Crop? |

Are you asking about an 11 hole drawbar that fits between the lift arms or the swinging drawbar with extra drop used on the Row Crops? |

If you're talking about the deep drop swinger, they're hard to come by. Once in a great while, one might show up on eBay. If it does, it'll be pricey. |

One of my three came with a standard draw bar. I had it cut and extended in the drop part. Yes, I know that it is not to be trusted as if it were original. |

If you really need one you could have one made.
A piece of X10 steel flame cut to size then cold formed in a press. Drill the holes after.
When the big machine shop was still running my friend Kenny made a couple of drawbars.
You can hardly tell them from originals. |

I've seen a couple sell on Fleabay in the $150 price range. |

Aren't the (swing)draw bars hardened and very tough? Almost like spring steel? |

I've got one that supposedly came off of a 4000, but I don't think that is what it is. It does have the remants of blue paint on it.

Fleabay is colloquial for ebay.
Good, unwelded 7/9xx swinging drawbars are not easily found and usually expensive.
I once bought a tractor just to get one and a set of 7/9xx sway bars, which are even more difficult to find. I subsequently sold the tractor for the price that I originally paid for it after removing the remote valve.

Yes, it's eBay: the on-line Flea Market. |
