Bud - I also have a 1952 Super C with a fast hitch. We purchased it from an estate farm auction and the widow told us her husbanc always had that tractor as it was, and ... his favorite. It has the single front wheel, common here in Wyo. A great usable IH tractor. And, we have a '53 Super C with it too. Both have their ID tags still on. I am sure they came with the fast hitch. I have an IH large multi-page flyer all about the fast hitch and their uses, in color, from a May, 1953 issue of California Farmer. I think this is when the "big push" on the fast hitch was on for the farming industry. But, I am not sure on any exact dates for when that was first introduced. The Super C tractor started in 1951, I believe. So, it would be interesting to me when the fast hitch really made its entry to the IH line. I imagine there is some documentation about when this occurred somewhere.....
