There are two sizes of prong. Those that fit SC-200 and other Super C sized tractors, and X00 series and bigger. Be sure to get the size appropriate. There is about 1/2" difference between height, and are interchangable with shims. The difficulty with conversions is that the FH is ridgedly spaced center to center, and 3Pt are not. 3Pt require movement to allow the ball socket to be placed over the pins. A top link is also needed to provide the third link.
This must tie into the structure of the tractor frame in a very strong connection. There is a rnge of side to side spacings on 3Pt implements. Thus width adjustability is important, and limited with the conversion prongs.
I believe in the superiority of the true FH system. It just got over run by licensing issues, and proprietary IH attitudes. Backing into an implement and driving away is a great feeling, and much less dangerous than working on foot to attach a 3Pt. The pivot pins in the system could have been more well bushed and resistant to wear. The flippers could have been made a bit better for more automatic closing into the latch notches, and some implements have the tendency to fall over making backup hitching difficult until a concrete block or other device is used to support the implement on one side.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
