Hi Oldiron, Eagle Hitch was Case's answer to the three point hitch. It strongly resembles a common three point hitch but the arms are rigid, that is they don't swing from side to side like on a Ford 8N. The eyelets at the end of the arms aren't complete holes, either. You pull up a latch and the "hole" slides forward, lift the arms onto the implement until the pins are in the "holes", then pull forward and they latch close, then connect the top link. I don't have a picture to post, but I'm sure you can find a picture of an Eagle Hitch on this website if you look hard enough. The Eagle Hitch on my tractor works with an external hydraulic cylinder...don't know if they are all like that or not. Before the Eagle Hitch, Case had what was called a motor lift with two fixed arms that are much shorter than the Eagle Hitch arms and with two holes at the end for connection. Dad's DC had that and there was pedal you stepped on and the motor lift was either up or down...no in between. I have a '52 SC (with Eagle Hitch!) and I have the Service Manual. As Todd said, the first part talks about all of the SC's, then there is an addendum that talks about the Eagle Hitch and live PTO, etc., that started later. I'm not at home, so I can't look in the manual to see what it says about the magneto setting. I have an idea but I don't want to say "I think it's.." then it be wrong. Good luck! RandyN (MO)
