J Anderson: As Brian said, most of those old fast hitches are worn out, go 3 point right from scratch. You might look around for a fast hitch rockshaft, and hydraulic cylinder complete with chassis mounting, then build your 3 point hitch from that. Pre 1962 fast hitches were a great device on small tractors like SC, 200, 230, etc., and smaller. The larger tractors, especially if they were used for a lot of draw bar work, beat out the pin holes, and the hitch became so loose, one may as well been pulling a baler for example with a 3' chain. I had a new 560 and before it was 10 years old I removed the fast hitch and installed an M type drawbar. You could rebuild the pins and holes but that would only last a year.
