Okay, this is not a For Sale or Trade ad.
It is a question - I don't know anything about fasthitch.
Can you use a sickle bar if you have fasthitch installed?
Possible implement trade involved.

Yes but requires a different mounting bracket where it bolts to the final drive

Re: Will a Cub 22 sickle bar work with fasthitch?
Hi,
Here are pics of the rear bracket on the Cub 22 mower made for the Fast Hitch. I think IH made the mowers with this style of bracket starting when the Fast Hitch came out, in 1955, but I wasn't around then. They have some material cut off on the bottom from how the older brackets were. I've only seen pics of the older brackets, but it looks like the difference.

Re: Will a Cub 22 sickle bar work with fasthitch?
The standard old fashioned non-fast hitch mower works just fine too. It's been a couple of years since I had it installed on the fast hitch Cub, but as I recall all you need are some longer bolts. The slight misalignment of the belt does not seem to matter.
