2 pt. quick hitch

Hey guys,

I am a newbie to red tractors, I grew up running green ones, both green and yeller, and green and white. But I picked up a Farmall H last year and have been using it around the place.

My question is this: I have a chance to pick up a Super C with a slew of attachments that are set up for the Farmall 2 point. (which I have never used) Do the H and the Super C use the same....tractor mounted bits? (Don't know what to call them either! lol) If I could pick up the needed parts and use the attachments on either tractor, I think I will do it. But if the 2 point attachments are tractor model specific, I think I will pass the deal up.

Thanks guys!

H/SuperH never had fast hitches,or any hitch,for that matter.You would need a 300 or newer to get a fast hitch,.And...A C/SC used the 'small prong' fast
hitch. 300 and newer/bigger used the 'big prong'.
 
No, the H was never intended to have a fast hitch. But the Super C is almost the same HP as the H,buy the set and sell the H. The fast hitch equipment is hard to come by, is expensive and a lot easier to use than any three point ever built. I have both three point and FH tractors and equipment(I should have just stayed with the FH.
 

Allllllllright.....It has it, so maybe it was retrofit on some time in the past? It has the prongs on it, I do not know what to call it. I have heard of a fast hitch system on the letter series tractors before...John Deere had one in the same vintage that had two round studs sticking out to the sides of the drawbar pinbox, and latches the swung over and spun down on the equipment...I know Farmall had something that they marketed as doing the same thing...making connections faster and easier. So...what gives?
 

504, now you have piqued my interest. I have to agree that 3 point can be bloody frustrating to hook up sometimes. (I hate hooking the brush hog up!)

Why could I not put the FH...mounts? On the H and have 2 tractors that use the same attachments? Assuming I could find anonther set of course?
 

I forgot to mention in the earlier post, I hate single point failure sources. If I only have 1 unit that can run a particular accessory, then it is a fair certainty that at some point I will need the accessory, and that 1 tractor will be down. Main reason I bought the H in the 1st place, so I can swap the Farmhand F-11 onto it if my Oliver 88 spins a bearing or some other item that will be time consuming to repair goes out. So far, I have been lucky, the 88 has kept running, so I use the H for mowing, raking, etc.

I need the loader to feed the critters in the winter (round bales), so it is a critical item.
 
WHAT has "it?"

Are you saying the H has a Fast Hitch? That would be truly rare. I have heard that M&W made adapter plates to put a Fast Hitch on an M, but not an H. Of course with enough time, some metal, and a welder, anything is possible.

It's very common for the Super C to have a Fast Hitch, because it was the first tractor IH ever equipped with Fast Hitch.
 

Brownie,

No, I bought the H as the backup for the loader. I have used an H with a Farmhand before to move round bales. it is not the most pleasant thing to do, but it works. (I have not done it with THIS H yet)

The Super C has the fast hitch and all the attachments. I am looking at buying this one.
 

Barnyard, I am not quite sure what you are asking. The SC has the fast hitch and the attachments, the H, I would like to put fast hitch bits and pieces on so I can use the implements from the SC on the H. Did I answer your question?

Oh, Brownie, I forgot to mention, the round bales I am feeding are grass hay, not alfalfa...so they weigh about 1/2 what an alfalfa bale weighs. (Alfalfa runs about $360-380/ton up here.)
 
The H is much bigger and very different when compared to a SC. No H ever had a fast hitch unless it was retrofitted and adapted from a Farmall
300, 350 or 300 or 350U. Both have the same basic final drive casting, but the newer tractors have casting mount points for the Fast hitch.
The later tractor Fast hitch are also designed for a hitch that is for larger "prongs" on the hitch. (adapters that fix that are easy, simple
and very usable. The difficulty is that conversion to adapt the components. If you are a machinest, and metal worker, or have bucke to
outsource the work. (and have a 300 350 to use as a model) don't do it. Trading the H for a F300 will do you the most good. Jim
 
You haven't stated which implements are included with the Super C F/H tractor but a Super C is one of the handiest and nicest tractors for it's size IHC ever produced. If it is a narrow front model you will find it the very best hay raking tractor with a side delivery rake as it will turn on a dime. You talk about moving round bales (don't know with the front or rear) but a Super C doesn't have frame rails like the Farmall H and M and carries all the load weight through the engine block making it very susceptible to breaking when over loaded with an excessive load. I restored my fast hitch 1953 Super C and parts are very easy to find as so many were produced. I use my Super C for all types of utility work on the farm and anther area where they really shine is with a back blade on a gravel roadway. The fast hitch has a tilt feature (up and down on the left and right sides of the blade) which permits spreading the hump in the middle of the roadway to the left and right.
 
Put the H on the back burner and put all your effort in the Super C, Fantastic little tractor.
