Is there a difference between a fasthitch for a 100, 130, 140, A or Super A? Are these the only tractors other than a cub that took the single point? I know the 300 series had the weird two point set up that was a smaller than the prong than both the single point and two point of the bigger tractors. How hard are they to find and how much should one be looking to spend?
I don't think there's any difference to amount to between a 100-130-140 Fast Hitch. THe hitch I put on one of my Super A's came from a 140. I paid about $650 for it, only thing missing was the helper spring. I think JP Tractor Salvage typically have Fast Hitches in stock.
Super A's didn't come factory with a Fast Hitch, though it is in the last edition of the Super A parts book. Looks like it could be a dealer installed option or retro fit.
The cultivision tractors---100-130-140 (and Super A if you add one) and Cub all used the one point fast hitch with a "big" prong. The Super C, 200, 230, and 240 (I may be forgetting a model or two after the 240) used a two point fast hitch with small prongs. The 300, 400, 350, 450, 460, 560, and other tractors right on up to the 966 used the two point fast hitch with the "big" prongs.
I have never heard of any specific complaint about breaking stuff on the Fast Hitch. When looking for one, look for breaks, bends, and welds....
