Two Point Fast Hitch History

Was the two point hitch available on any other Farmalls in the early to mid 50"s? I have never seen one on a M , Super M , MTA or any of the H series tractors.
Thanks

WHen the first tractors with Fast Hitches came from the factory is harder to answer- technically, Fast Hitch was an option, and existing documentation doesn't tell much about when options were first sold. Parts books aren't much of a help, mainly cause the same parts were used in the kits, so tractor serial numbers weren't helpful (I'll check what I have later today).

The initial drawings and idea for Fast Hitch were done either in 1949 or 1950. It took awhile to get into production (actually, it wasn't that long by how these things go)- IH needed to test hydraulics, implement combinations, etc. I'll buy that some 52 serial numbers may have had FH from the factory- the dates I used were based I think off the initial sales bulletin.

Willing to pay a premium

I remember this as they held a competition for young drivers to manuver a 4 wheeled wagon through a course of fence posts with coke bottles on top of posts. Some of these you drove through, while others you backed through. You had you choise of that Super C or a Super A they had on display. I took part in this being 10 or 11 tears of age, and I'm a 42. If I remember the prises were put up by IH, Coke and Purina. I think everyone that made it with less than 5 bottles on the ground got a prise, with the winners getting more.
