I got a 1953 Super C with a fast hitch and I have a question to what something is. The hitch is lifted by a seperate ram on the rear of the tractor. However there is a rod that goes to the (left side of the tractor when looking at it from the back)The rod is conected to the touch control arm. When pushing the rod it moves the fast hitch on a angle. not sure what is the reason or purpose of this rod??? some type of pitch control??
Thanks
Andrew

Andrew: I think terminology should be just a bit more precise than the advice you received. Yes the hydraulic ram at back is for raising hitch and implement. The linkage going to your left rockshaft is levelling control designed to level any implement side to side as the situation demands. (not just designed for plows although the plow probably caused the most use) The linkage going to the right rockshaft should be called the depth control. It controls depth of plow and several other implements, like planters, listers, disks, etc. It will create fore and aft levelling for numerous implements like mowers, platform carriers, etc.

I really don't have a problem with what Cmore has told you. These controls have a very wide range of functions depending on implement used. I'm sure I've missed a few also. You really should have an operators manual to explain all the many functions and adjustments of fast hitch. Fast hitch was quite a versatile device, far more functional than 3 point hitch on small tractors such as SA, SC, 100, 200, etc. Fast hitch just didn't make a good drawbar for big tractors.

Andrew: I would go right for an original operators manual, by IH for that particular model. You may find there is a specific manual for the hitch as well. Binder Books supposedly are doing reprints of all IH manuals. But specify you want operators manuals, they will describe various functions and use for hitch. Super C and 200 will be very close, and 230 or 240 will be somewhat different.

That is an adjustment for a plow when you're opening up lands, so you plow "even". Also on the other side, the large, round tube controls "fore and aft" for the fast hitch...Cmore
