CNKS: As I said to Jim the entire bottom assembly of the hitch on this tractor doesn't look right to me. Two point fast hitches had the lower links paralell to each other in the socket area. That was the only way fast hitch could work. Jim also calls this an IH option. I do know IH were pulling straws in the late 50's, trying to satisfy the 3 point customers. This was especially true with utilities like 240, 340, 350, 330. IH were looseing these customers in droves to MF and Ford. The Farmall crowd really didn't get too upset as they were still using their old pull type implements for the most part. All fast hitch did for Farmalls was make them harder to mount or dismount. Believe me, I suffered more than one groin injury or mainly pain getting on or off the 560. Soon as I got my 656 that 560 fast hitch was cut up for scrap, and 560 got a new Farmall M drawbar. Jim may be can shed a bit of light on this, as I have a gut feeling he may have experienced this as a dealer. There are a couple of spots both north and south of the Canada-US border where the names Becker and IH shared that relationship.
