George: my problem with free wheeling TA was hired operators. Never had a whole lot of problems with the TA, but I really didn't need to give all those senceless hours of lectures telling operators how to use it. I had John Deere power shift and 1066 which didn't free wheel, those didn't require driver schooling.
Until 1963, Cockshutt and Oliver had a IPTO far superior to IH, I also had one of those. I rebuilt the planetary unit on 300 3 or 4 times in 35 years. The 560 went through a PTO clutch pack every 2-3 years.
Had IH in the US used that B-450 rockshaft and put a B-450 type drawbar on tractors like 400, 450 and 560, I could have lived with fast hitch. Do you, (of course you do) realize how bad a fast hitch skins the shins when your foot slips. Our tractors required forward mounting. That over the hitch mounting is probably the biggest single factor making Ms, SMs SMTAs, 400s, 450, and 560s obselete.
