Abstract:
A drawbar clevis assembly is attached to a drawbar having a first bore in an end thereof. The clevis assembly includes a clevis member which has a second bore spaced apart from and aligned with the first bore. The clevis member also has a pair of cross bore aligned with each other and extending generally perpendicularly with respect to the first and second bores. A drawbar pin is insertable through the second bore and into the first bore. The drawbar pin includes a shaft and a plate attached to one end of the shaft. A cross pin movably mounted in the cross bores and engagable with the plate to releasably retain the drawbar pin in the first and second bores. In a first embodiment, the cross pin is removable from the cross bores to permit withdrawal of the drawbar pin from the clevis member and drawbar. In an alternate embodiment, the cross pin is rotatable within the cross bores from a latched position wherein the cross pin engages the plate and retains the drawbar pin in the first and second bores, to an unlatched position wherein the cross pin is spaced apart from the plate to permit withdrawal of the drawbar pin from the first and second bores.
