Has anybody ever seen a brochure or parts breakdown for the SMTA factory Fast Hitch kit offered by the Company?If the kit came out with the 400's, I would like to see how they engineered the stationary end of the rockshaft. I would also like to see the hydraulic's package. I assume they did more than plant a Christmas tree valve somewhere. In fact, the hitch uses two independent cylinders so I assume the tractor should have had three valves I don't know this for a fact but the 450 hitch may have been partially engineered with SMTA retrofit capability in mind seeing that it is a bolt-on installation. This might mean the kit was not available until 1957. The hydraulics only used one cylinder but the draft control circuits would have added some complexity. Again, it would be interesting to see how they integrated the hydraulics. Can anyone say they have actually seen a factory retrofit kit and not some later modification, using salvage parts, that was installed 20 to 50 years later? This is not a how-to request. I know how to do the work as I have 3 SMTA's converted with Fast Hitches: 2 with the early type and one with the later type.
