Another thing that a lot of folks miss is that for the last several years they were being made the personal vehicles (Scout, Pickup and Travelall) failed to make a profit at all yet instead of stopping production they kept right on going.
And look at it. Case offered a partial power shift from 1970 one. AC From 75 on. JD way earlier than that. Heck in 1970 a Case 970 had 16 GPM hydraulic flow. Plain fact is IH failed to keep up. When the 86 series came out in 1976 it still had the TA. They didn't go to a partial power shift until 81. Not hard for an decent AC or Case sales rep to convince someone that IH is far outdated.
As far as the hitch system? Lot of guys were using 3 point cultivators and semi mount plows through the 60's and well into the 70's. So the hitch argument was valid. Gotta remember that was before chisel plows or no-till really were anything. Lot of 3-16 3 point and 4-5-6-7 semi mount 14-16-18 plows still around this area. So yea the Fast Hitch hurt them. Farmers in the 50's and 60's when the fast hitch was produced remembered the depression. Older implements had to work with a new tractor. And most were pretty independent minded. No one was going to tell them they could only use one brand of implement. Same thing happened with the Snap Coupler and Eagle Hitch systems too.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
