Paul: The angle in both photos is not quite right. On the back side of the rockshaft arm that raises the rear lift is a cast tab for a pin to go through. On most non fast hitch tractors that tab has a 1/4" hole, however on the fast hitch tractors the tab is larger with a hole for a 1/2" pin required for spring assist to hook to.
I have run fast hitches without the spring, they lift marginally less, however I think the long term effect of no spring will be detrimental to the tractor hydraulic system.
The problem for you will be finding a rockshaft arm with the large hole. Then you have to dismantle the rockshaft arm assembly. These can be a real bear to get apart. A good option may be find a complete touch control unit. This of course would be more feasable should your current touch control unit need a rebuild kit.
I had been thinking if you sent me an e mail I could retuen photos of the fast hitch spring. I think I know the problem your having, your using modern and I classic. Using classic forum click on your post then scroll to my post, at the bottom click on send mail. I think this is one of the YT pitfalls if one guy is using modern and the other classic.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
