following up, for those who chimed in - I removed the drawbar (held in
place by a LH threaded nipple - took a while to figure that one out) -
took drawbar and holders to a friend who had a good thread mic and we
found that the drawbar thread was about 1.5 thousandths too large -
turned it down with a nice sharp 5/8X11 die and all is well.

thanks for the help and advise.
