Nifty: No, I didn't realize that gauge didn't work well. I know the whole hitch was not much to write home about, I had one on a 560. I also had a 300 and in my opinion IH threw away the best part of the fast hitch when they did away with separate hydraulic cylinder and control valve to control depth while plowing. They should have kept the depth control cylinder and incorperated automatoc draft control into that. Most folks don't realize this but IH had the very best mounted plowing machine built prior to 1963 in the fast hitch plow on Super C and 200. Not only did it have hydraulically controlled depth change on the go but it also hydraulically controlled side tilt with could be changed on the go by hydraulics. I had on my farm, at least one new tractor from every series, letter series through to 66 series. My 30-50 series was and still is a Farmall 130. Hydrauilc depth change for plowing on the go, all the way from 9" deep to out of the ground. 49 years and trouble free all those years. I know of 200s, 300s and 400s with same trouble free hitch reputation as it applies to plowing. Most of those 30-50 and 40-60 automatic draft controlled hitches were major trouble before they were 10 years old. In fact I cut my 560 fast hitch up for scrap before the tractor was 10 years old.
