Another thing that a lot of folks miss is that for the last several years they were being made the personal vehicles (Scout, Pickup and Travelall) failed to make a profit at all yet instead of stopping production they kept right on going.
And look at it. Case offered a partial power shift from 1970 one. AC From 75 on. JD way earlier than that. Heck in 1970 a Case 970 had 16 GPM hydraulic flow. Plain fact is IH failed to keep up. When the 86 series came out in 1976 it still had the TA. They didn't go to a partial power shift until 81. Not hard for an decent AC or Case sales rep to convince someone that IH is far outdated.
As far as the hitch system? Lot of guys were using 3 point cultivators and semi mount plows through the 60's and well into the 70's. So the hitch argument was valid. Gotta remember that was before chisel plows or no-till really were anything. Lot of 3-16 3 point and 4-5-6-7 semi mount 14-16-18 plows still around this area. So yea the Fast Hitch hurt them. Farmers in the 50's and 60's when the fast hitch was produced remembered the depression. Older implements had to work with a new tractor. And most were pretty independent minded. No one was going to tell them they could only use one brand of implement. Same thing happened with the Snap Coupler and Eagle Hitch systems too.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
