Harold: George was able to find a rear photo, showing the 3 point hitch, and sent me a copy. Nice unit, and to think I put up with that contraption called fast hitch on the back of my 560. They had that 3 point hitch on British Farmalls, before IH in America sold it's first fast hitch other than SC.
If we had been as well informed back then as we are today, fast hitch on big tractors would have hit the trash rather quickly. I always liked the SC, 200, 230 and 240 hitch, plus the single point hitch on the offsets, however a 560 doing heavy drawbar work, fast hitch was a disaster. In only about 3,000 hours my 560 hitch became so loose, it was almost like pulling a forage harvester or baler with a 4' chain. I rebuilt the pivot point holes, but they only lasted one season. In the end I cut the fast hitch up for scrap around 1968, and bought a new M type U drawbar and swinging drawbar. At that point I would have spent the money for that 3 point hitch. And believe me, I knew about Saginaw.
