Welcome
According to Phil's Tractor Sales, your tractor has a category 1 three point hitch.
The Harbor Freight Cat1 Quick Hitch should work fine. You may need to then modify your implements, even if they are category 1. Manufacturers of category 1 implements do not always adhere to the standards of the industry.
The standards that are set forth by the industry are shown in the attached image. The measurements of the Harbor Freight Cat1 QH are given here.
Inside Dimension of Lower Hooks 27 1/4"
Outside Dimension of Lower Hooks 29 5/8"
Width of Lower Hooks 1 3/16"
Good Luck with your project. There are several threads here discussing useful modifications you can do with your QH.

Welcome. We went with Pat's Quick Hitch that has an ad on this site.
We do not have everything that is standard 3PH size and Pat's system is much more flexible and you can still connect the PTO well with his hitch system installed.

I agree 100%. I had the Pat's Easy Change (the correct name, BTW) for about 6 years when I had my 790. Then bought a Deere branded Quick Hitch when I bough my 4400. I wish I'd stuck with the Pat's Easy Change, actually.
However, there are a lot of TBNers who use quick hitches and done the (sometimes) necessary modifications to their implements and love the quick hitch.

I'm interested in Pat's Quick Hitch myself. I wondered if this moves the implements back enough that the PTO shaft for tiller, cutter, and spreader might end up short? They were very carefully measured and cut when I first got the implements. But man it is becoming a chore changing out attachments.

That can be the case but not with our 7' bushhog. TSC had PTO extenders that some use if they come up short.
I have profound physical limitations due to Ankylosing Spondylitis and the extra lenght makes it easier to get to the PTO shaft and make connections. Of course the no hassle connection/disconnection of Pat's Quick Hitch is worth a mint in my case.

What about the top link? Probably need to purchase a longer one?
