IH offered kits to put Fast Hitch on Farmall Cs after the hitch came out, so you'll see FH on tractors I think back to 1948, even through the hitch itself wasn't available until later. Same deal with Super MTA's- kits were available. WHen the first tractors with Fast Hitches came from the factory is harder to answer- technically, Fast Hitch was an option, and existing documentation doesn't tell much about when options were first sold. Parts books aren't much of a help, mainly cause the same parts were used in the kits, so tractor serial numbers weren't helpful (I'll check what I have later today). The initial drawings and idea for Fast Hitch were done either in 1949 or 1950. It took awhile to get into production (actually, it wasn't that long by how these things go)- IH needed to test hydraulics, implement combinations, etc. I'll buy that some 52 serial numbers may have had FH from the factory- the dates I used were based I think off the initial sales bulletin.
