Russ: I take notice you say drop it off, well unless one took the time to watch the market closely scrap metal has never been worth hauling anywhere, not even to the nearest scrap dealer, let alone your yard. Yes, I cut the hitch up for scrap and 85% of it has been used for other fabrications. I can think of one little piece I threw on a scrap dealers truck one day, many times since I could have used that for another fabrication project.

As I said these hitches were great on small tractors, the very first 1 point fast hitch I had on my Super A was built from one of the 560 hitch sockets. The other hitch socket was incorperated into quick attach for my skid loader, designed so I could hitch to any pull type, 3 point or 1point implement on the farm. Greatest vehicle ever for putting equipment away for winter storage. The skid steer would put my corn planter and grain drill through a door, without damage, and they were both 8" wider than the door. Try that with a tractor.

The lift cylinder from the 560 was used on a hydraulic spout control on a NH 890 forage harvester, at least with 4" bore one could reasonably hit the wagon. The 1.5" bore cylinder from that spout control was used for boom fold on a sprayer. With 1066 hydraulics behind it, that little 1.5" cylinder was going to wreck my harvester discharge spout. Now if you want what is left over, your welcome to come and get it. If I'm not home, it will all be in a bananna box at the end of my shop. The bananna box may be wet, but don't worry it will stand the weight of the broken spider gears from the 560 control valve.
