A 801 hitch

the 801 hitch was John Deere's 3 point hitch and I think it was maybe optional to order on the 70 but could be purchased later from JD dealer. I doubt it was ever standard on any tractor
 
Due to Ford's patent rights on the 3 point hitch, the 801 was JD's early attempt to market a similar type hitch. It's very awkward to use because it is really a four point hitch and not a true 3p point.
 
There are 3 versions of the 800 hitch. The 800 has a crank on the right lift link for leveling, unfortunately if it is left in the wrong position the crank can hit the seat when it lift up. The 800A eliminated the crank and has a flip up handle on the threaded center part of each lift link for leveling. My opinion is this was the best of the 800 hitches. The 801 hitch was the final version of the hitch and it had a mechanical weight transfer linkage built into it that didn't work particularly well. These hitches were a dealer added option. If you find the implements that were made to operate on these hitches they don't work to bad. I have a 2 bottom 812 plow with a gauge wheel that works real well on my 50. Your 70 would have used an 813 or 814 plow. Any plow used on the 800 hitches needs a gauge wheel to control depth.
 
Here is a picture of my JD 70 standard with and 800A hitch hooked to my JD 813 plow. Not the best picture but it should give you and idea of what they look like. Like others said, it does not work very good. Only used it once and that was like 20 years ago. Al
