Here's the OEM Ford 8N-802 Clevis Bracket and Pin. Standard equipment on the 8N and NAA tractors. used only with the Dearborn Swinging Drawbar, NOT a standard, only an optional accessory. Looks good for show but for practicality and actual use, the later NCA-809 Clevis Bracket and Drawbar assembly was a better design. Why? With the 8N-802 clevis you could only use the Dearborn Swinging Drawbar, had to remove it to use another implement, and needed to store in barn. With the later FORD modified assembly, it con be kept in place even when using a plow or other implement. The modified FORD NCA assembly is the one made and sold as aftermarket parts today.
