sway bars hook to the pins under the axle and to the outside of the 3pt arms after the implement is hooked up. You may need to measure up and fab your own set.

You can order an Operators Manual from the following site: www.floydcountymuseum.org
An implement such as a plow, cultivator, or other tilliage tool needs to be able to move side to side when in the working position and be stabalized when in the raised position. When the machine is fully raised the chains that run from the lift arms to the anchors near the PTO should be snug or neary so to keep the lift arms from swinging into the tires.
The anchor pin you see under the axle is used to attach a stabilizer bar that takes all the side ways movement away form the hitch and should only be used on something like a post hole auger, a rear blade,or similar tool. Make sure your hitch is lifting the correct height by raising it all the way with the control lever (nothing attached) and then manualy lift the ends of the lift arms, should be able to manually lift them another inch or two, if no freeplay the pump can be over heated and damaged. If more than two inches sway chains will not get snug enough to keep the implement from swaying. Max height adj. is made by adjusting the turnbuckle that goes from the top link anchor to a short lever on the side of the hyd. lift casting. Hope this helps.

You can usually find sway bars at any farm or tractor implement supply store like Agri Supply or Tractor Supply.
