I looked at how Farmall put the Fast hitch on the tractors and it's nothing more than casting 3 mounting points on each side of the back of the tractor so I went to the boneyard and measured some hitches. Turns out there is one that is a perfect match if you have a mounting point. I made the mounting brackets and lower arms. The lower arms were copied from my 806. This hitch gives you down pressure also and all my hydraulics work off the belly pump. I have 1 control for the hitch and 1 for a remote. Works great. I have to make a better looking draw bar mount and add the turn buckles for the sway control but I have had this on the tractor for 3 years now and it has worked perfect. This tractor does all my light planting and cultivating Best machine ever built. Everything on it is rebuildable and most parts can still be got at your local case dealer Here are some pics with one of the bean cutters I'm working on for it. This tractor is almost at the point for getting a complete paint job. Just a few more things need looked at first.

Nice looking results. I see you used a 460 / 560 style fast hitch, converted to a 3 pt. You beat me to it as I am in the process of putting the same thing together for my 560. On paper anyway... My FH is pretty worn out and needs to be rebuilt anyway... So what the heck.

Exceptionally nice addition to an M also....
