Abstract
A stabilizer rod and lower draft link are supported on opposite ends of a common supporting pin on a tractor with each being carried thereon by a ball and socket joint. The stabilizer rod and draft link converge rearwardly. The rod is provided with external threads on its rear end portion. A ball and socket joint is fixed to the draft link and the threaded portion of the rod extends through the ball portion of the joint. Nuts are provided on opposite sides of the ball and may be adjusted axially along the rod for varying the amount of sway of the respective draft link or for locking the draft link entirely against sway.
