I have used both the Saginaw and Worksaver hitches for the C, as well as a Saginaw on a Super H and a Super M. For the C, the easiest to install would be the Worksaver (It just bolts up to the rockshaft levers as was stated below). If I remember right, they both allow you to keep the original drawbar on the C. The price is comparable depending on the two issues also mentioned below (the valve and the axel brackets; if it helps another shipping number is ~$90 for a hitch to VA). If your tractor has axel brackets or you can get them locally from a salvage tractor that would possibly be cheaper than buying their reproduction clamps. The 'hard' part about the Saginaw hitch is if you don't have a remote hyd valve, you either need a factory setup from a Super C (the manifold, valve assy and handle with control rod that mounts up on your headlight bar), or get some kind of a aftermarket valve setup. I've heard that they offer something along these lines but haven't used it myself, so can't comment.
But...
When it comes to functionality, you will quickly forget how much it took you to hook up a remote hyd line and you'll just be grateful that you did.
Another good alternative if you can find one is to mount a factory fast hitch on your tractor. If you find a complete one, you get 3 angles of hydraulic control and the ability to use the old fast hitch implements or 3 pnt stuff with Worsaver's 2 to 3 pnt conversion kit (Yes, this is where I still recommend Worksaver). This leaves your tractor a little more original looking if that's important, and still has the benefit of the hyd cylinder at the rear rather than those ridiculous arms that allways get in the way of your pedals.

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
