What fast hitch mower did they use on the 560 tractors

tbish; Model 100 balance-head mower was one. This allowed the operator to mow up or down banks and ditches.
I have a model 1200 - newer model, that allows the same operation.

Based on information in sales literature of the time and drawing on my own experience with the mowers in question? I would say the 100 series balanced head mower. The 450 is the biggest tractor actually listed in anything I have on hand but there are pictures showing 500 series tractors and even one that appears to be a 706. I have seen a few of these mowers about and they either sell for the sun and moon or go cheap. If they go cheap I usually pick them up so I have a 100 trailer, a 120 semi mount, and a 115 midmount (that un wasn't cheap but if the fella wanted it back tomorrow I would ask double and still have second thoughts!). I have never come across a FH version but would buy it if I did as I have a 300 with FH and would like to get someone else out there helping with the mowing. Some come with rear PTO and a hitch so you can pull a conditioner behind the bar. These work very well if you can find a good one. They are very old now, however, and any I have seen had rubber rollers that go all to pieces the first time out.
