NEKS: Whether it will fit or not, I doubt if it slows down wear on the hitch. Sidedraft, starting and stopping wears the pin holes on the hitch. this wasn't too bad on small tractors, but 400, 450 and 560 were terrible, especially if one was doing a lot of drawbar work. I always figured the surge of plunger on a baler did more dammage than most implements.
My 560 did mainly baler, haybine, forage harvester, cultivator and disk, all trailer machines. By the time it was 3 years old the hitch was so loose, it was like pulling the baler on a 2' chain. I rebuilt the pins and holes, but they didn't last anytime. Finally I went to H-M type drawbar.
If I were you and wanted to keep the hitch, I'd try and devise a drawbar between hitch links much like a 656 or 706. It's been awhile, so I'm not sure how difficult that fabrication might be. Park yourself behind the tractor and study the possibilities, keeping in mind hitch movement. I know you can save the cylinder and rockshaft, build the drawbar, then put a 3 point hitch on the side of the drawbar. I've seen that one done, and it worked well. He bolted the drawbar to same boses as rockshaft, also extended it to the belly where M type swinging drawbar fastenes.
