This is on a 55 Farmall 300 with 350 emblems. Is the Fasthitch and PTO correct for a 300 or are they off of the 350?
I saw a 300 with a the PTO engagement lever on the right side of the tractor and extended up past the seat. What is the difference in that and the one I have?

the hitch is from a 350. the pto is a transmission driven pto for a 300 or 350.the long handle you saw on the right side is for a independant power take off type pto
 
Seems stange to have a transmision driven PTO when the tractor has a TA. Any tractor I have seen with a TA had a live PTO.
 
Poster posted the serial # a few days ago. It had a R suffix for a tractor equiped with a T/A with a provision for a transmission driven PTO.
With a T/A the PTO was realy driven from the clutch shaft with gear to another gear and shafts that passed through the transmission. When the clutch plate stopped so did the pto.
Whats strange to me is the flange on the rear of the PTO housing. Looks like for a rear belt pulley gear box housing or other special attachment mount. Can"t tell if the flange is part of the housing or made to go over it. Never saw or heard of one for a transmission driven PTO, not even on a utility.
Fast hitches were a attachment. Fast hitch with traction control like on the tractor could be purhased new after tractor was sold and put on or removed from another and put on. Heard of new tractors still setting unsold on dealers lots when the next model was out. So it could be a dealer installed the hitch when tractor was sold as new.
 
I agree, the hitch is close if not exactly 350 in fittments and TC handle. Interesting PTO.
Interesting Single wheel. Could have been sold as a harvester platform. Just cogitating. Jim
