Default Old Trailer A-Frame / Drawbar

I am looking for an old (or old-style) A-frame / drawbar from a trailer, thrashing machine or similar to replace a fabricated one on our engine trailer.

Something around 38" wide by 50" long (980mm x 1250mm) would be ideal, but any considered. Nothing too heavy-duty is needed.

Please PM, or email simontansley@hotmail.com

Many thanks.

We had such a thing some years ago, we took it to our blacksmith for straightening and he pointed out a dubious weld,. He had heated drawbar prior to straightening and noted that the heat wouldnt' travel along the bar but stopped at a point. Something that may be worth checking

Thanks for the replies. Making one is the next option, but I'm seeing if there is a ready-made one available before I crack on with that.
