CNKS: How is the hitch lifted on your C ? Do you use an external rod to front rockshafts or a remote hydraulic cylinder? I am presently fabricating a 3 point kit for my Farmall 130 currently equiped with 1 point fast hitch. On the surface this looks quite easy and the hitch linkage was. I used MF 35 lower links, welded 1"x3" plate on edge on top of fast hitch wish bone, to put Cat I pins in to hook on lower links. I used a U bolt type clamp on rear rockshaft for hooking the top link. To change from 1 point to 3 point all I need do is pull the hair pins on vertical linkage, drop my 1 point pull bar and install lower links, or vice versa, about 5 min. will make the change over.

The kicker is that rear rockshaft, in my case mounted on the fenders, and the linkage going to the front rockshaft. Regardless of whether I'm going to use 1 point or 3 point I've got to rebuild that setup. I'm afraid after 47 years those fenders aren't going to stand the weight and if I don't do something, I'm going to bend up a couple of perfectly good fenders. My plan is to run 3/4 x 4 inch plate up from final drives and mount rear rockshaft on top of those. Over the years I've broken the linkage going to, and the front rockshaft as well. I am considering putting a remote valve and cylinder on tractor to operate the rear rockshaft. Just wondered if you had the remote cylinder set up from Saginaw? Also how well does it lift? I know those remote setups on SC and 200 for fast hitch, the weight on front of tractor is the lifting limit. If the Saginaw valve and cylinder will lift like those fast hitches, then I know my rockshaft must be removed from the fenders.

I am also looking at designing and fabricating my own lower link sencing draft control to operate on either the 1 point or my 3 point. That is another story, and by the time I'm done the hitch will be worth 3 times value of tractor. Maybe I'll put it on the market, problem is no one will buy it. Oh well, I'll just keep investing money in these old tractors, there has to be money in them, I've never got any out.
