A 'C' 3pt conversion

I've acquired a 'C' that has a yellow 3-pt conversion and I'm curious whether the 3-pt is an IH OEM or an aftermarket manufacture. It has 2 flat bars connecting the Rock Shafts to the short upper lift arms, an adjustable 'top link' arrangement from each upper lift arm connecting to the lower lift arm on each side, giving it the ability to raise or lower each side independently. There is a 'normal' top link that mounts as on most tractors and an adjustable stabilizer to each lower lift arm. On the lower lift arms, in faded blue paint, is stenciled "IHxx" with xx being what appears to be two numerical digits (I can barely make out that they are numbers, what the numbers are is anyones guess). The ball ends of the lower lift arms will rotate for either a class 2 or class 3 hitch-up. Anyway, the unit as a whole is pretty stout, 1/2 inch plate lift arms, 3/8ths or 1/2 mounting frame (I don't know the Rockwell hardness of any of the metal). All the welds look to have good penetration and finsh (not ground or otherwise touched up) so I don't think this is a homemade unit. As I first mentioned, I'm just curious whether this is an OEM or some after-market unit. If it is after-market, what company may have made it? It works great, doesn't bind or bend when stressed, is fully adjustable and best of all it's a no-brainer for hook-up and adjustment. I would have posted a picture, but my daughter recently discovered that snow, rain and digital cameras are not a good combination.

It is definitely not an OEM unit. Sounds like the Work Saver brand. IH had the fast hitch back then. Three points make these old tractors much more versatile and handy. But for the original factory freaks, they are not correct.

I've seen several three-point "adapters" specifically for the fast-hitch C/SC over the years, usually a semi-triangular sort of gizmo...and from the quality of the iron, I just assumed they were from IHC, but never was 100% sure.

Anybody know?

I posted this scan from a Super C sales brochure.
