Bushing Adapter for Drawbar

[mml373]

Maybe an easy question...

I have a Cat II tractor (Workmaster 120) that may have to help pull hay duty, but my balers are Cat I units (old Massey 12s). Is there an adapter that would fit my Cat II drawbar hole to reduce it down to more of a Cat I diameter? I don't want these Cat I pins ovaling out my drawbar hole. Thank you.

I’ve seen bushings for the big 300+ tractors for such a thing. I suppose they are out there for your application.

I’ll be the first of many to say it isn’t really going to be a problem in your lifetime, but maybe it will help with the rocking of a baler so might be worth looking into.

Heh. My Cat 1 tractor and these old implements already are showing signs of ovaling. Mainly just prefer a good, tight fit for the reason you mention. Help stabilize and reduce extra motion of equipment.

This is the stuff I see. Not sure I see a smaller version.

There was something for some JD models from Worthington but appears to be discontinued.
