Harold: Whether it was a direct bolt up, would not have been a major issue to I as a farmer. I firmly believe had North American farmers been offered that B-450 hitch and drawbar, demand would have been there to make necessary modifications to fit that unit on American built Farmalls.
Generally speaking the wisdom here on YT would have you believe 560 rear end troubles were the beginning of the end of IH. I ask you how many farmers were affected by 560 rear ends, probably 50,000 at most. Buyers of 30-60 hp tractors were leaving IH in droves over fast hitch. They wanted 3 point hitch as it gave them options when buying equipment. Most of them never returned. I've always been of the belief, lack of 3 point hitch was a far greater cause of the IH down fall. Harry Ferguson had clearly won the hitch war before IH sold their first fast hitch.
And to think IH had a 3 point hitch in production is living proof, management were truly a bunch of duds. Usually one would only expect this boneheaded type of customer service from a govt agency.
