Mine was on backwards from the PO. This video was the only thing I found that showed mine was wrong. Thank you

Thank you for the video. I have inherited a Ford 3930 tractor, the drawbar was in the yard and I think I'm missing the 2nd mounting bracket under the tractor. Anyway, I was trying to see how a drawbar should be installed. It seems simple but I'm working with a tractor that has never been maintained and parts are missing,

Those tractors came with just one triangular shaped bracket. Not sure if the two bracket setup would work on the later series tractors or not. Those are very good tractors too. I have a 68 3000 diesel that is a workhorse.

Good day from Ont. I always think tractor looks a little bigger or heavier Thanks for video.

Caught you just in time

Great video , can you give some examples of WHY you need a draw bar? What use cases would you need one? Thx!

You use one to pull certain implements such as hay bailers. I don't have any implements that use a drawbar myself. All mine are 3 point hitch.

Hay balers, some hay rakes, wagon, manure spreader... those are just a few I've seen pulled with a drawbar.

Have you done a video doing rear axle seal on a ford 650 tractor if not please I need to replace my thank you for the videos

Unfortunately no as I dont have a 650 tractor to work on. My video of fixing the rear axle trumpet shows me replacing the inner seal. This tractor doesn't have the collar on the axle like a 650 would for the outer axle seal so I have no video on replacing that one. The inner seal is fairly simple. For it just remove the wheel, and brakes. Then unbolt axle shaft/brake backing plate and slide axle assembly out. Your inner seal will then be right in front of you. The outer seal, on the axle/brake backing plate assembly, you'll have to crack the collar and then remove it and the hub to access the seal. I did them on my 861 years ago and they were a pain. If just leaking rear end oil your inner seal is most likely culprit. You'll also need a press to reinstall the new collar.

Did you have rear wheels powder coated? If not what did you use? Thanks

They are painted silver. I used a Case color from New holland. Quart can is part number B17565.

Can you tell me what size the holes are in the draw bar bracket ? I can not get to my tractor yet because of snow and I need to get some pins to keep the draw bar from swinging side to side and I don’t know what size of pins I need.

Pretty sure I stuck some 7/16" bolts down into mine to hold it center. I'll check and let you know for sure.
