The arms that came on the drawbar setup fit;s the tractor hitch real well. The aftermarket arms with ball swivels in them(3pt adapter) were out of material that's quite a bit to short top to bottom. Had to add some filler pieces to the bottom of them to make them work. Now I just got back with the sickle and plow and the plow arms are the same way. Someone had to add material to the bottom of the arms to make them fit good enough. What applications and tractors were the "short" arms intended for? Loren

Loren: Of the 2 point hitches SC, 200 and 230 had the small ones and all other tractors had the large forks. 1/2" filler plates were used which is exactly what you are doing. Probably not a lot of people ever got into torching them as Jim had to do as many of the large fork implements were too heavy for SC, 200 and 230.

Just so you will also know on the single point hitches the Cub used the small fork and SA, 100, 130 and 140 used the large fork.

 Thanks guys. in reply to Hugh MacKay, 08-21-2004 14:30:31  
"large fork implements were too heavy for SC, 200 and 230." Realized when I read that I told you wrong, plow has the big hitch. 2-16 might be a bit much for a small tractor. Tried it out in the back and it only cut about 5" deep. ???? The disc will be here next week so I'll have to find somewhere to do some real plowing. Lorem

Loren: Please note I said a lot of the large fork implements were too heavy, but not all. You must remember they were in that era building fast hitch plows 2 to 5 bottom, disks 6' to 10' and cultivators 6' to 12'. Not many farmers ever hitched a SC, 200 or 230 to those big ones. I think all the mowers were small fork, at least I've never seen a large fork mower.

The Super C had small prongs I believe 2 1/2 inch while the 300 and above had larger.I believe IH made an adapter that allowed you to go to small. You are doing the same thing. I went the other way and had to torch a couple down.
