The physical exchange of a ratchet drawbar set for a newer, smooth
style drawbar set is a pizza-cake. The drawback is the cost. These are
very expensive when parted out. I wouldn't be surprised if a set
didn't cost 100's of $$s, if bought from one of the larger shops that
is likely to have a stack of them to sell. They like to keep them to
turn *-2s into *-3s. Much bigger markup that way.
