340 Fast Hitch Point Adapters

I have a 340 that I tried plowing with today with a C20 2-14 plow. Plowed good, except when I pulled it out of the ground the latches would open and actually the plow pulled out one time. Found out that my 340 uses the large Fast Hitch points, and the C20 plow has the small ones. There is an 1/2" difference in the hieght of the points. Looked in my parts book and found that IH, in their wisdom, had filler plates, Part No. 523387R11. They slide in the bottom of the Fast Hitch on the tractor and make up the difference in the height. They're held in by a pin. I'm thinking they measure 1/2" thick by 1 1/4" wide by 11" long with 2 holes in them. I'm going to make a set, just wondering if anyone out there has a set to tell me what the actual dimensions are. It says in the book, use them if IH says it's alright. Just wondering what plow had the big points (2 bottom) that was made for the 340?
Thanks and sorry about the long post.
 
There are several large point fast hitch one-way two furrow plows listed in the application listing for fast hitch implements. Models listed for the 340 tractor are 34-F20, 34-F20A, U-F20, No. 20, No. 211 and No. 209. These all seem hard to come by with the large points as I've been on a hunt for one for my Farmall 240 which also uses the large points and is a 2 bottom size tractor as well without much success. Hope this helps, Hal.
 
Can not help as such but I have a 2 bottom dick plow that is fast hitch for sale. Have it on a 300U right now but think it has the larger ends on it. Works well just rusty from sitting for a couple years of not using it
 
All you need is two pieces of flat steel to put under the points as you hook up. No special bends or pins needed. I have bought two implements that have had the shims welded to to points.
 
Yup, thickness is the most important factor. Width can be anything narrower than the fast hitch point itself, and length same deal.

I'm surprised the plow stayed attached to the tractor at all.
