OK folks..I didn't think this would cause so much interest.
To answer some questions.
The draw bar is not altered from the factory position. If the draw bar pto distance from Farmall meets the asae standard the yes it is asae.
I have no idea if the hitch arms meet any standards for the pto relationship. I just know that I can kill weeds with my 3 point bush hog with no problem and it pulls a 6 row ditcher and cultivator with no problems. It also handles my 125 gallon JD 3 point sprayer. Safety was the issue when I put this on and it has been tested in field conditions with no problems.
The external cylinder is in the factory mounting position. I would not want to change it. When I mounted this no parts where modified in any way. I hate to take a collectors item and do that. The fast hitch can be removed and bolted right back on the tractor it fits.
Yes I have a perfect plywood template for this mod. I can trace it to cardboard for anyone that is interested. When you make the mounting plates the bolts where it bolts to the axle housing have to be replaced with longer ones. You also have to slightly bevel the outside radius of the ears where the bolts go to bolt it up so the plate will fit tight against the tractor housing.
The top link needs to have a full length piece of pipe to enclose the rock shaft so it won't move side to side. I haven't got around to it yet.
You can take a factory set of lower hitch arms and bolt them on if I remember right but they wanted alot of cash for them so I patterned a set by copying the ones on my 806. I figure they should be strong enough to handle anything an M can dish out and then some. The arms themselves are made from some solid hardened steel I got from Watsons welding that are used for cultivator shanks.
Yes...red spray can paint that turns pink sucks but it does keep it from rusting until I get all the stuff done before the full paint job. I still need to go into the trans to replace a bearing thats going out. When you put it in road gear it's noticeable. Field speeds no problem yet.
