The Low Profile series Colt, Case and Ingersoll GTs (100, 200 and 300 series) didn't have 3 PT hitches available to them from the factory (they weren't available to the consumer until he/she moved up to a 400 series and beyond). Only the High Clearance series tractors were able to mount the OEM 3 PT hitches (400, 600, 3000, 4000 series). If he wanted one [3 PT hitch] he would need to custom fabricate one. The Low Profile Colt, Case and Ingersoll tractors came with Sleeve Hitches for rotary tillers. You could even get a Sleeve Hitches for the High Clearance series tractors if you didn't want or could afford a 3 PT hitch.
Here's my original 1973 J.I. Case 222 (hydraulic lift vs Manual Lift as they came from the factory - was a special order to have hydraulic lifts added) with the OEM H22 Sleeve Hitch and the H70 Hydraulic Tiller. Yep, he'll need the rear PTO in order to run a tiller. Rear PTOs are still available from Ingersoll dealers but are pretty pricey. I see 'em show up on eBay but here again they are wanted items so you know what happens in a bid frenzy.
