[Farmall] 340 & 460 Fast Hitch swappable?

[Mike Sloane]

I have both a Farmall 560 (virtually the same as a 460 in back) and a 
340, and I can pretty much guarantee that the hitches are not 
interchangeable. I will send you an image of the two off-line.

I don't know where you live, but if you are near NJ, I would be more 
than happy to swap my 340's Fast Hitch for your three point hitch. (In 
actual fact, if you look at the parts manual, they are virtually 
identical, except for the ends of the arms).
