Pre-eagle hitch 3point

[13fx]

On the 48 VAC I bought the guy told me it was a Master Frame Hitch. When I go to look for info on it, I can't find any thing on it. I do find a couple of manuals that list a master frame hitch as an add on to the eagle hitch, but that's not what I have. I'd really like to know what I have and would like to be able to read up on it. Can anyone here tell me what I e got and do you have any literature for it??? Thanks I've included two pictures of the hitch to help.

Interesting contraption there, I'm awaiting a knowledgeable persons response. gobble

That is what I believe to be correct terminology. I have one on a 1946 VAC with a mounted two bottom plow.

I believe that is a mount for a plow. Looks like Case implement green paint.

It is indeed a plow hitch, I bought the 2 bottom to go with it. I'm just trying to figure out the name, dates of production, parts and operation of it. It would be great to know the history of this setup.

That is the factory correct lift system for that age of VAC ,,. a CASE dealer in Stockton California also made a hitch for the early VA series it had control arms that glided over the floor boards ,,just 10 yrs ago everyone knew and could identify .. I am surprised that No ONE here knows that .. Where has all the wisdom and historians gone ?

You know where they have gone. I would be very interested in seeing the plow hooked up to the tractor, I recall the lift arms along side of the torque tube on pre 1950 VAC's. But never saw a cultivator or plow hooked up to one. gobble

Kinda looks like a stockton hitch. They were made in Stockton Calf. for VAC. Google case stockton hitch for pictures. Charley Hellickson

I believe the correct name of the hitch is a Vcmb if Im not mistaken. I have a two bottom and single bottom plow. I will try to look at my manual tomorrow.

This is a pic of the Stockton hitch that one of our regulars posted many years ago.

This link is the Operators manual for pre 1949 VA series tractors. The belt driven hydraulic pump and system is there, I am not sure whether the lift hitch is shown, check it out.

As soon as the hydraulic system is operational on this ole girl, I'm gonna hook the plow onto it and I'll take a few pics and post it. Ground here's still to white to be able to do more than that.

When I had first started here in the late 90's maybe 2000 this was a very active site. I had went off with the army and left the ag world behind, and when I returned here after buying an old international 350 I was surprised by how much the traffic on here has reduced. Bit given that I'm asking about a 75 year old machine, it's gonna be hard to find someone who was old enough when it was newish who remembers something about what it is I'm looking forward. Thankfully there are enough people who love the old iron still that work on them and can help guild us through some of the stranger early tech.

Struggling to attach pics today, block of wood between drawbar and frame is to keep the plow up while working through replacing pump.
