Part is recycled from the old drawbar I bent last year. The bar itself is a massively thick chunk of steel and has the lower pins already on it. I cleaned off the welds where the bent, flimsy frame was welded on, recycled the hitch into a top link fitting (no drilling holes, yay) and built the rest from C-channels that used to be somewhat overly sturdy fenceposts.
The top link fitting is also bent from its previous life but I'm hopeful if I throw it in the sauna-forge tomorrow I can straighten it out.
Yes, the top bar is super wide and there's a good reason for that.
