    Yep that's a quick hitch arrangement, the 3pl lift arms lift the centre towing hook to enable hooking up a trailer without leaving the cab. I used a farm-made version many years ago but it kept filling up with dirt that wouldn't allow the pin to come all the way up.

    Harry Ferguson had one for the TE 20 from around 1952. Much simpler than that and was combined for use with his hydraulic tipping trailer. We had one in use on a super spreader. The big advantage is the weight is kept low down under the tractor. With the rear tractor wheels turned with the dish facing in(rear wheels swapped from side to side) so just about doubling the width of track, the combined unit would safely go where it was almost too steep to walk.

    Sure is! Makes hooking up an ag trailer sooo quick. I'm not sure why they never took off here, because they're so quick to use!

    Im not entirely sure on the name but is it an old radial shock absorber?

    Edit: Just googled the name - a friction disk shock absorber?

    Yes. Friction shock absorber or more correctly, damper. Used extensively in the 1920-1939 period, mainly on high performance cars. Before that nobody used them, and up to about the mid 1930s low cost cars rarely had dampers of any kind, relying on interleaf friction. But as coils and torsion bars started to come in in the 1930s, they became essential, and gradually spread to leaf springs as well, with hydraulic dampers becoming almost ubiquitous by the post war period with telescopic dampers being capable of mass production more cheaply than the earlier lever and vane varieties of damper, although few trucks had any dampers well into the 1970s.

    Friction dampers were not, as far as I know, used at all post WW2.
