The rear hitch is definitely a homemade unit.
Ouch! ....They really canabalized the OEM hitch parts!
That hitch may work for towed attachments, but a plow or cultivator would need the original hitch.

Do you happen to have any documents/ pictures on what an original Hitch looks like?

Update:
Finally Found a Hitch for my Ride-a-Matic!
I had to pay dearly for it though but sometimes you have to if you want an elusive part.
Looks Like I still got some work to do before I begin the restoration. I didn't get a lift link with the hitch so it looks like I'll have to make one.
If anyone has pictures and dimensions of their lift link I'd appreciate it. Also I would like to see some more closeup's of the hitch.
Looks like I'll also have to make a that tab that sticks up for the hitch as well as someone hacked mine off
I've been slowly buying parts I need to get the restoration going over the last few months. Still need to get the hitch in order, New Rear tires, and decals made up. Still need to go through the engine as well as it smokes on start up and will probably need a ring job.

Also Would like some close ups and measurements of the Hi/Low range decal along with some of the Hood Decals

Did anyone get you the lift link dimensions? I can take some measurements if you still need them.

Thanks
I'm not 100% certain, but I think your 58' Used a different length lift rod than my 57' (Part numbers are different)
If anyone has these dimensions or pics of their lift links I'd appreciate it.
