Homemade Drawbar Safety Device

I made this drawbar safety device in 1979 after my 2 1/2-year-old son was killed by a runaway hay bale wagon that broke loose from the tractor pulling it. It bolts onto the implement tongue and is held in place above the drawbar pin by a spring-loaded latch. After all these years it has never failed. (L. Jay Gillis, P.O.
