Info on d-17

Was wondering what a tractor like this is worth and what to look out for as far as any present or future mechanical problems.

Also wondering about what is involved in using regular 3 point hitch implements on the quick hitch(I have a 850 Ford with a Massey 6 foot mower, small hay rake, 6 foot blade and pig pole).

I don't know much about the quick hitch system, but it appears to have at least part of the conversion because it has a set of arms with ball sockets like a normal 3 point hitch coming from where the draw bar mounts and hooked to the snap mounts which I guess is where a the quick hitch implements hook to, but I can't seem to figure out how to hook up the top link. The guy I bought it from had a bale spear mounted on the rear when I tried it out but I never noticed how he had it hooked up.

I guess this tractor would be a Series 1, since it's a 58 model. Did these models come with an expanded metal grille or did they have the square mesh type like the others I have seen?

I asked the guy when I went to pick up the implements and he told me that the top link hooks to the braket on the bar that goes between the lower arms. I wonder what kind of conversion this is? I don't know how thats going to work out with the implements I have, but it seems like it would be too low. I may have to get one of the top link brackets or fabricate on myself after I get something hooked up to it and see how it works. It looks like the only thing substantial enough to mount it too is the rear end bolts, but I'm guessing it would be some lopsided affair to clear the transport valve.
