[Farmall] Fast Hitch filler plates?

[Larry L Hardesty]

Mike,  Some one used to be making them...perhaps advertising in Red Power. 
 Any way I purchased a set a few years ago.   Now, I probably would just 
go to the local iron and steel supplier and get the material and drill the 
holes myself for the pins.  Nothing very complicated.

[Farmall] Fast Hitch filler plates?






I was able to obtain a manual for my "new" IH 100 pitmanless sickle bar 
mower, and it is very helpful. But I have a more general question for 
the Farmall folks:

The manual specifies that when installing the mower on certain Fast 
Hitch equipped tractors (those with the larger sockets, such as my 340 
and 560), that the "coupling beam socket filler plates" must be in 
place. I assume that these plates/shims take up the difference between 
the smaller Super A/C/100/200 series prongs and those on the larger 
implements. My question is: what shape and dimensions are these filler 
plates? I can do some trial and error messing around with scrap steel, 
but it would be helpful to go to the correct dimensions. Right now, I am 
just guessing that they are just long narrow strips that sit under the 
prongs, but if there is a tab to keep them from sliding in/out or 
something like that, it would be good to know. And, of course, an image 
would be even more helpful. Obviously, if anyone has a pair for sale, 
that would be even better yet (and save me all the time, effort and 
bloodshed of trying to make something (using my limited skills and tools).

Thanks,

Mike
