was the way it was done in the old days. Most old equipment had a clevis hitch that would fit over the end of the draw bar, then a pin was dropped in the common vertical hole to keep everything together. The belt pulley sawmill with a lunette you found is very unusual. In the old days, such sawmills more likely had a clevis hitch instead of the lunette. No farm implement I can think of ever used a lunette for being towed; nearly all used clevis hitches. Industrial equipment was much more likely to be built with a lunette. The sawmilll you found might have been built for industrial, as opposed to farm, use.

With the Monroe 3 point hydraulic lift and rear PTO drive (with or without the belt pulley), most any farm implement that could be used behind a Ford 9N/2N/8N tractor could also be used behind a Power Wagon. Much of this farm equipment is shown in the color cover photocopy PW sales literature I sell.

Today, mount a Class III receiver tube under the rear cross member and bolt a pintle hook on the end of a removeable receiver that has a flat plate on the rearmost end.
