Single Point Fast Hitch Needed

Hi folks, I am restoring a 54 Super A and looking for a single point complete fast hitch. I've found one in TX, but its too far for me to travel. Any help locating one would be appreciated. thx much Paul

Have you tried putting a wanted ad in the Classified Ads?

hello, i have a complete one for sale in lexington nc 336-250-4475 keith

Paul: You say TX is too far for you to travel. That leaves room for a lot of other places being too far as well. Perhaps it would be best if you enlightened us just where you live. I think I could put together a complete fast hitch from parts I have around. I may be too far away as well.

Hi folks, thanks for your responses.

Hugh - The tractor is located in Wakeman, OH, near Cleveland. Or if its easier, our farm is located in Franklin NY, near Oneonta.

Keith - If we could get the price of your FH and transportation worked out, I would purchase your fast-hitch. But I've yet to find transportation from NC.

Andy - Thx for the suggestion. I put an ad on this website about 5 weeks ago and thats how I located the FH in TX. The price was right, but I had trouble with finding transportion.

thx again guys. Paul

Paul: Send me an e mail. We can discuss how your going to use the spring assist. Super A touch control rockshaft for hitch does not have attaching hole for spring. Just want to make sure your aware of that.

Hi Hugh, I am having trouble with email, so I'll use the board to show you my setup. Maybe this will help determine if I can use the Fasthitch spring assist. Do the photos show you enough to determine if the FH will bolt right up?

Paul: The angle in both photos is not quite right. On the back side of the rockshaft arm that raises the rear lift is a cast tab for a pin to go through. On most non fast hitch tractors that tab has a 1/4" hole, however on the fast hitch tractors the tab is larger with a hole for a 1/2" pin required for spring assist to hook to.

I have run fast hitches without the spring, they lift marginally less, however I think the long term effect of no spring will be detrimental to the tractor hydraulic system.

The problem for you will be finding a rockshaft arm with the large hole. Then you have to dismantle the rockshaft arm assembly. These can be a real bear to get apart. A good option may be find a complete touch control unit. This of course would be more feasable should your current touch control unit need a rebuild kit.

I had been thinking if you sent me an e mail I could retuen photos of the fast hitch spring. I think I know the problem your having, your using modern and I classic. Using classic forum click on your post then scroll to my post, at the bottom click on send mail. I think this is one of the YT pitfalls if one guy is using modern and the other classic.
