When our 960 Ford broke down (with 3pt hitch), dad made the 501 (with 3pt hitch) work on the IHC 300 (with 2pt or Fast hitch) for a day. It was not a good thing, but it did get the hay cut for that day. Bar barely lifted, angle was off, 300 didn't have enough lift height to operate anything right.... I don't know what a ball hitch is tho???? Do they mean 3pt hitch? All I've ever seen on a 501. Anyhow, the 501 mowers use some funky geomitrey & clamps to make the bar lift, & you will have _much_ difficulty making that work right with a cheap 2pt to 3pt conversion on the 300 (the 2 puch-in arms). You would need a full new 3pt system on the 300, that runs $600 or more. Cheapest option imho is to find a 2pt IHC mower for your needs. They are rarer, but out there. --->Paul
