That side-to-side movement in your drawbar isn’t just annoying—it creates dangerous conditions when you’re towing heavy loads and makes accurate implement tracking impossible. If your Ford 8N, 9N, or 2N has a wobbly drawbar that wanders left and right when you’re pulling equipment, this lower stay arm will fix that problem and get your tractor tracking straight again. A properly functioning stay arm eliminates the slop and provides rock-solid drawbar control that keeps your implements and wagons following where they should.
Key Features
- Built heavy enough to handle the leverage forces created by offset loads and side hills
- 1/4 inch thick steel construction stands up to farm work and impacts
- Blue TISCO quality finish matches other restoration parts
- Direct replacement for worn or missing original stay arms
- Works with both upper stay arms and complete drawbar assemblies
Built for Real Farm Work
This lower stay arm fits the classic Ford N-series tractors—8N, 9N, and 2N models that are still earning their keep on farms and homesteads across the country. Whether you’re restoring a classic N series Ford or keeping one earning its keep, this stay arm provides the drawbar stability these older tractors need when pulling cultivators, disc harrows, hay rakes, or hauling wagons full of feed or grain.
Made to Last
Farm equipment takes abuse, and drawbar components get hit by rocks, scraped against fence posts, and stressed by uneven loads. This stay arm is made from quality steel with a protective blue finish that resists rust and corrosion. The heavy construction prevents bending under constant stress from implements that pull harder on one side than the other.
Installation Notes
While installing new stay arms, inspect the drawbar pin and bushing for wear—slop there negates the benefit of good stay arms. Proper stay arm adjustment dramatically reduces tire wear on towed implements by eliminating crabbing. Set the arm tight enough to control side movement but not so tight it binds when turning—your drawbar still needs to swing for steering.
