Not a fast hitch but what?

On the IH 240U, not a fast hitch, but? Doesn't look like the fast hitch on my 140...

As found on the my latest rescue
 
I have a 240 Utility with this type hitch ( one has a repair of some sort )and I have never tried to use it . Could someone explain how it works ? I plan to go to the Red Power Tour next Saturday and ask lots of questions on this 240 . I need to find where to get the hydraulic hoses repaired/ replaced . Too many things to ask here.
 
It's not rocket surgery. You back up to the implement, and bring the open claws up under the lift pins on the implement. Once the claws are under the pins, you close and lock them around the pins. Attach the top link. Go do whatever job it is you set out to do.
 
Thanks Barnyard . I thought that was it but was not sure . When I get the hydraulic issues resolved , I will be using it .
 
Nice. I've always wanted one of those hitches, but I think they only came on 240 and 340 Utility tractors. I will never own another one of those uncomfortable little machines again. They're made for someone 5'4" and 120lbs.

I don't see how you can include those two tractors together. The 240 is base on the C, Super C, 200 series while the 340 is based on the 300,330, 350, 460 frame. That's a lot of difference.
 
I have both a F240 and a F340. I like them both alot, but I can see why Barnyard would say that. Neither are the easiest to get on and off of and on the 340 at least, not a great amount of leg room. I added some 1" x 2" steel tubing under the seat rails that helps quite a bit.
