I know the basic principals of the 1 point hitch ( fast) and what they look like, but I'm puzzled with how the 3 point hitch looks and how they operate. Any one help me out . A picture is worth a "thousand words", they say .

Countershaft - as the name implies, a 3 point hitch attaches the tractor to the implement at 3 points as opposed to 1 like the single point fast hitch. It is a common style hitch used by most all of the compact tractor manufacturers of today and also in the past. 3 point hitch implements are commonplace and readily available. There are different "catagories" of 3 point hitches which divides them according to size. 3 points are also common on much larger tractors. The link will show you Worksaver's version of the 3 point hitch for the cub.

This is by no means a full description of the 3 point hitch but I hope the information helps.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

To understand the 3 point hitch system, one needs to read up on Harry Ferguson - who created the whole thing.

Here are a few places to spend some time on:

Harry Ferguson "The Man and The Machine"

The Ferguson Family Museum

Unofficial Harry Ferguson Page

and the google search string Harry Ferguson

The yellow part would be on the tractor and the white part is on the implement.
