Here's an update; This 460 gasser had a Fast Hitch when we farmed with it. Larger tractors were acquired and the 460 no longer farms. We've removed the Fast Hitch and built a custom adjustable hitch for stock tractor pulling in the #5500 and up stock classes. (I've been tractor pulling since 1980). A new anchor bracket was purchased and installed during the change-over. A new Farmall M swinging drawbar was shortened and used on the adjustable hitch with a 3" D-ring to hook to the sled. We removed the 16.9x38" tires and installed a road-worn set of 15.5x38" tires for stock pulling. (The tractor came factory with 15.5x38" tires.) The cast bracket got pinched and broken while attemping to re-adjust the hitch! Wellington Implement says a new bracket will be in before Saturday, $80 for the mistake. Next pull is the local fair pull in 10 days, if the new bracket doesn't fit/work, we'll just build one from steel. Thanks to all for your comments, I'll update the story and maybe post some pics next week. Don
