The hitch my dad's 240U had, had arms that were coupled to each other...they were a fixed distance apart, and could not be moved laterally [toward or away from the tire] by hand. They were nothing like the arms on an 8N, which can be moved laterally by hand when connecting to an implement. They were NOT like a 3-point adapter added to a 2-point fast hitch, as the 3-point arms could not be removed...BUT it functioned more like the 2-point fast hitch, in that lateral movement on the either arm was extremely limited, and they moved together. To connect to the pins on a 3-poin t implement, you had to put one arm over the pin, and then laterally move the entire hitch to allow you to get the opposite arm over the pin on the implement. As I said above, connecting implements with this hitch was a royal PITA.
The tractor in the ad on Craigslist had what I'd call a conventional 3-point; the arms look similar to what an 8N has, and each can be independently moved laterally to place the pins on the implement into the ball socket on the hitch arm.
Anyway...is this type of 3-point on a 240U a factory hitch?
