Dave: Trailer plows are the best solution for these old Farmalls, then you can move drawbar to suit a two bottom plow. Two bottom mounted plow require a wheel tread 52" to 56". Just too narrow for safety on these high tractors.
There are folks that get along well with Saginaw hitches and plowing. I think the biggest thing wrong with your hitch, the lower links are too short for tillage equipment. Worksaver do this same thing with offset Farmalls, works fine on mowers, but not worth a damn on plows or disks. Your hitch might be a Worksaver, I've never seen one for the larger tractors.
Worksaver use a 26" lower link on a Super A. I build 3 point hitches for these little tractors and I use a 32" lower link. My hitch lifts twice as much as theirs, and works well on plows and disks. I've never measured a Saginaw lower link on an H or M, but I'm betting it's close to 36".
I'll attach a photo of my Farmall 140 and a 1,000 lb. disk.
