Farmall M and 560 Fast Hitch

I'm going to an auction in a few weeks and they have 2 farmall 560's. One auction bill states that both 560's are for parts and the other states one as for parts only. At any rate I haven't seen them yet so I don't know of the condition. Will a 560 fast hitch fit onto an M? If I could get these cheap ( the statement on the auction bill is

"Condition of Machinery and Improvements – The Machinery Has Not Been Used For Several Years, Obsolescence Is Obvious, Much Is Salvage, Some Badly Vandalized. The Outbuildings Are Old, Unattended Valued Only For Their Materials. The 1,600 Square Foot Home Needs Restoration, See Below."

The sale bill is here http://www.bidawad.com/PDF/HAVLATfli.pdf

If it does or if i can be it may be cheaper than getting a full 3 point setup. All I really want the hitch for is to pull a rear blade, a mower at some point and just to have a drawbar to move trailers around (which would be it's main use).

Will any other parts off a 560 fit an M? My Father in law is thinking of buying them anyway just to fix up be we'll see.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.


thanks

The 560 fast hitch will fit a M. I don't think you will be able to use the tel-a-depth valve and linkage. A gentleman on this site made some adapter plates to adapt this hitch to the M axel housing bolts. If you want this information my e-mail is open. He had pictures posted on this site about Feb. thru April. Armand
 

It is definitely not a bolt on, technically it doesn't "fit" but it can be adadpted as armand says. The adapter plates are a pretty complicated fabrication, though,
 
If the entire rear sections are good, with axles and all, one possible conversion is to use the whole rear setup. But it will be a far more intense remake. Nice though when done. Just don't try to pass it off as a SMTA:) JimN
 
The real answer is NO. IT will not fit an M without lots of fabricationg work and then it still wouldn't really work right. Shoot me an email and I will send you a pic or two of an H with a traction control fast hitch on it and you can see how much is involved. It will work but not easy or cheap if you can't do the fab work.
