I have a 3-Pt. Cat.1 26" drawbar which I am trying to determine whether is a Ford or Ferguson. It has 9 holes and has these numbers on it: HF (in a square box), then: TO-5182-1. The center hole is larger than the other holes. Would this be stock? In addition, I have one of the adjustable stabilizer bars with a light chain attached to it. On the chain is a small "wedge" (or "clip") and a 3-1/2" X 2-1/2" oval metal tag with this message: "WARNING - To avoid damage to pump, put control lever fully down and fit wedge under stopper". Although the stabilizer bar is pretty rusty, the little tag is in pretty good condition, and the drawbar is absolutely "gorgeous". Am I right to assume it's Massey Ferguson because as I recall some early Ferguson tractor model nos. began with TO? On the other hand, I also know the 9Ns (and maybe 2Ns as well?) were labled Ford (Ferguson System). As a kid (back in the 50s) I worked for many different farmers and drove lots of tractors including, 9Ns, 8Ns, Farmall Hs & Ms, Allis Chalmers Bs, WCs, WDs & WD-45s, a Ferguson and a Silver King (we used to call it a "Single King" because of the single front wheel). I have only A-Cs now; a WD that belonged to my late father and a WD-45, so I'm not too knowledgable 'bout the Fords & Fergys. I was going to give the drawbar to my son for a spare for his little 3-cyl. JD diesel, but it is in such beautiful shape, I think I should offer it for sale to either a Ford or Ferguson guy (which ever is appropriate) to be used on a restored tractor. Help in identifying which tractor it belongs on will be truly appreciated. Thanks, Brian G.

There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken by Harold alone to bring it up to show standard. From the engine number, it was found that the major was produced late 19
