Central Minnesota | We pulled a Killbros 1200 with a boxcar for years. Also pulled a 34.5 foot 4700 with a 500 gallon tank on the front. Over time the combination of the two weakened the drawbar. and it snapped off. We found a used drawbar, and then cut the old one, so it fit with about 1/8 inch of clearance. Under the new/used drawbar. That way when the drawbar would flex, it had the support of the piece we put underneath, which would touch the drawbar support. Left 1/8 inch of clearance in it so there would be flex. We just used longer bolts thru the clevis to mount it on there. Worked good. Never had any problems after that.
Maybe go to a local metal shop and find a 2"x3" piece of solid steel and put a brace under it. | |
