I agree with Dave S. Little Genius. It looks pretty complete. The hitch was designed to release when the plow latched into a tree root, or a big rock. It had a pentile style looking arrangement that was connected to the spring, and the yoke looking casting at the front of the drawbar. The plow was connected to the tractor's drawbar to a bolted on D ring. The ring was about three inches across and the flat portion of the D had a bolt through it that attached it to the tractor. On the plow was a downward pointing finger of cas steel about an inch in crossection (it looked a lot like a pentile hook (the part on the tow vehicle) but pointing down, and attached to the tongue of the plow. When the plow hit a snag, it would pull the finger out forward releasing its grip on the D ring.
