2 pt IH 540 plow to 3 pt

I want to pull my fast hitch 2 pt IH 540 plow with Case 970 3 pt. What?s the best way to convert plow to 3 pt? Thanks!
 
I?ve seen a fair share of fast hitches torched off and angle iron welded on to accomplish that.

Works I guess.

Seems a shame.

Looks like crap.

There are so very many good 3pt plows out there, and a limited number of fast hitch models left.

Would seem smarter for folk to sell the good fast hitch plow to someone who needs it, and buy a good 3pt plow?

But, to each their own, it?s your plow.

I don't know know of any commercially made 3pt to two pt 'adapter'.However,I have seen an old complete fast welded into an 'adapter' by a farmer/welder.I'm thinking of doing the same thing myself,as I have a fast hitch two way plow.Dont have a fast hitch tractor anymore.:( Might be best to sell your plow and buy another plow.As was said.'converted' plows look like 'manure',and never plow right again.
 
I am not certain but most 540IH plows you had to add tongs to make it work on a fast hitch tractor. If that is the case removing the tongs will let you use the plow with a three point tractor by just using the lift arms on where the tongs are mounted. Pictures will help
 
Bingo. You 'nailed it'.You may even get enough money to put some extra in your pocket after you pay for the 'new' one.
 
(quoted from post at 19:05:58 12/21/18) Hi I have a three-point draw bar to replace the fast-hitch, to use your three-point hitch. Came off a 540 plow. Thanks Steve 419-618-0017
Thanks for the info—I’ll call you tomorrow.
