A three point has two arms that come out from the lower rear of the tractor and have "balls with holes" through them for mounting impliments. A "third arm" has an attachment below the seat. This system is what was first used on the 9N fords and are used on almost every tractor today.

The Ebay tractor listed below as the three point setup, you can see the mounting bracket for the third arm behinds and below the seat - but the actual arm is not attached.

A fast hitch has a somewhat similar setup, but lack the third arm, hard to describe, the Ebay listing below shows a picture of one.

It will fire up a few people, but the three point is generally seen as more desirable as it is the current "standard". The "fasthitch" or "two point" was propritiary to International and died out in the early 70s, when IH switched to three point hitches also.
