Something tells me it's a Hand hitch. Fitted one two years ago to the Leyland.

It's an ARM, as mentioned above.
Fitted to the IH 946 1046 and the early 55 series.
Disaster when the pins on the two latches got a bit of wear. Too many moving parts in the locking system. Hitch would release at one side but not the other. Trailers would fall off the hook when on rough ground.
We replaced almost all of them, mostly under warranty, with Dromore in the end. Then had enough scrap hitches to keep repairing any others that were left.

Had seen these on a few same’s they were bad enough.
Nothing quiet as bad as the effort on the MF 595 Mk2’s, that has to have been greatest afterthought in history.

It’s hard to imagine now that there was a farm machinery dealer in Douglas Street.

Was that type of hitch fitted to Same Tigers etc around 1979 ish ? Very very similar if not .
I remember the Massey Ferguson showrooms on Baggott Street in Dublin in the 70's
I remember my father picking up parts there. We stayed in a Band B in Donegal and the husband had worked for Massey Ferguson and was based in Baggot Street . There was a man worked in Murphy Machinery in Kilkenny that worked there also. ?? Ian Mcullagh??

Massey Ferguson's premises on Baggot St was a car dealership belonging to Harry Ferguson's brother before he ever invented a tractor. MF Ireland went from there to the Long Mile Road and ended up upstairs in Donohoe's in the Cherry Orchard industrial estate
It would be where Murphy engines are now, so not too far removed still.

That's what I was thinking, the IH 955 I had was fitted with the same hitch.
