If you want to see how I mounted the Fast Hitch
parts do a search with my handle dansuper27 and
all the pictures I have uploaded will be on there.
The Fast Hitch I used wasn't mounted on a
tractor when I got it but I have been told that it
is the 350, 450, 560 size....whatever that is. If
you look at the tractors of that era that have the
Fast Hitch you can measure how wide the back
casting they are bolted to is. It is the same as
the M when you add the plates because all of those
series used the same size rear section but then
had the dimples for the bolts cast on so the Hitch
could be mounted.
The hitch I got didn't have the lower Fast Hitch
arm parts just the lift rods, rock shaft, and side
mounting plates. I built the 3 point arms
patterned after an 806 size lower 3-point arm. The
problem you run into is there is no easy way to do
sway control.
When I bought my 856 it had a Fast Hitch on it
and that is rare enough that I didn't want to
remove it but wanted to be able to use 3 point
equipment. When you the search you will see the
solution I came up with on my 856. I'm going to
get the rest of the lower parts for my M and do
the same thing on it. Then you have the best of
both worlds....Fast Hitch or Quick
Hitch...whatever you want and it works well.
By going to the full Fast Hitch on the M you
gain back the sway control. I'm thinking the only
part that will have to be custom made is where the
Fast Hitch has to be attached underneath to be on
the drawbar pulling point.
I plan to do that on mine this winter and I'll post a thread on it when I do.

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac ... [Read Article]
