Fast hitch to 3pt adapter picture, I don't get it!?

Is this a joke?

I guess you back your F-H equiped IH up to a 3 point tractor and see which one picks the other up :lol:

I suppose if those lower pins were removed it could be used on something without fixed lower pins.

d282 · Jan 7, 2013

No. That is what I use on my IH rotary hoe and rotary mower on the 560. It is quite handy. What are you using it for?

How else would you hook up three point stuff to a two point fast hitch?

larryanderson · Jan 7, 2013

If you hook your 3 pt equipted tractor and back up to your 560 you would have two tractors hooked up back to back.Might be safer than a chain if you want to see who can pull each other like a few farmers used to do to see which tractor had more pulling power.Usually just digs two holes.

Maybe it is supposed to have a little strap with two holes on each of the lower pins? Looks kind of funny anyway, to me.

worked for IH dealer in mid 60's. remember these were with either rotary hoe or spring tooth harrow, it made it possible for equipment to be sold to brand X owners and also to be usable on 2 point tractors without having to design 2 hitch systems. third arm was only used to lift equipment for transport or turning as machine had to be full floating when in operation.

LOOK AT IT.

It has PINS. How do you propose hooking up a typical 3pt hitch implenent to those PINS???

3pt hitch arms have SOCKETS. This adapter has PINS sticking out.

99% of 3pt hitch implements have PINS too. How do you hook pins to pins?

dustycoal · Jan 7, 2013

I would just cut some one inch plate in the shape of a U, remove pins and weld them on and make one of them backup to the implament lift and go. Maybe make some type clips on top of U's that are spring loaded to lock it on? some times its fun to make something work.

IH fan · Jan 7, 2013

I guess you could use your 560 to carry your 8N Ford to the field with you... no that wouldn't work because the Ford doesn't have pressure down and you'd just lift the 3 point and not the tractor. My 240U has pressure down, maybe you could carry it backwards :lol:... naw, it would just break those little latches on top of the sockets.
You got me, I don't see how this would work for anything except some other backwards home made thing.

Nebraska Cowman · Jan 7, 2013

Sure, That makes sense. You used the pins to bolt it solid to the piece of equipment it was built for and left it on so you could use your fast-hitch tractor.

Phil Tibbetts · Jan 7, 2013

Looks well made.

EXACTLY!!!! That thing in the picture is NOT a fast hitch to 3 point adapter. I DON'T know what it is.

Dean Olson · Jan 7, 2013

This thing is posted on eBay.

I guess if you removed the pins and bolted it direct it would work.

I have original IH fast hitch to 3pt conversions for my SC and 300. They are designed a little different.

It looks like it was made for hooking up a small utility backhoe,just a guess.

LMack · Jan 7, 2013

I think the pins may be what is messing us up. If the pins were replaced with 5/8 bolts and the pins removed from the 3 point implement then it might be possible to mount this with two 5/8 bolts in place of the pins and a single pin at the top. This rig would then be somewhat permanently mounted to the implement. In any case, the pins have to be removed from both this rig and the implement to mount the converter. It would not work on all implements.

I'll take a SWAG at it, just as valid as some of the other posters.
Somebody had some F H implements that he wanted to use on his 3 point tractor. In the pic tractor to the left, implements to the right. Welded it up nice, then discovered he used the F H prongs instead of the sockets. Said "Gee, wish I hadn't done that".

i have one it works ok but as others have said the pins dont belong mine has 7/8" bolts there which is the pin size of cat. 1 equipment it also came with bushings to make the bolts up to 1 1/16 like cat 2. yes you bolt directly to an implement then hook up to your fasthitch tractor. its not the most convient to move from one piece to another and wont fit on all equipment but does allow the fast hitch to be used.
