Hitch Stabilizer Added To Oliver Tractor HITCHES Hitches 22-4-34 I got tired of my trailers and other pull-type implements twisting off the 3-pt. hitch on my 1960's Oliver 500D. So I built a hitch stabilizer to prevent the problem.
It's simply a section of 1/4 by 2-in. steel bent into an A-shape and welded to the ends of the drawbar. There's a hole in the apex to accommodate the top link and pin, which keeps the drawbar from rotating and, in fact, keeps it level at any hitch height.
The stabilizer is unlike anything on the market and has been trouble-free so far. Took only about an hour to build using scrap metal and two welding rods. (John Cooke, Windfield Farms, 403 Barn Hil Road, Mon-roe, Conn. 06468; ph 203 261-4123)
