Anyone Built a Super C-TA?

Anonymous-0 · Dec 30, 2009

Lately I've seen a few 340 row-crop tractors with battered tin for sale, and I'm just wondering...has anyone taken a 340 and modified a Super C tank and tin and built a SC-TA? I think that'd be a pretty usable tractor for the small farm, and I prefer the letter-series tin for its classic simplicity...so it would seem tha someone with some C or Super C tin, a little metalworking skill and a MIG welder could end up with a genuine bogus SC-TA.

But I've never seen one...yet. Anyone know of one, or where I could see a picture? [Yeah, I know it's not factory production, factory experimental, factory prototype,or anything else related to factory built...I'd just like to build one to hear the purists scream, and to watch the "experts" on the sidewalk watching the parades break their necks doing double-takes.]

I've never heard of such a thing being done before with a SC/340 but I have with a SH/300 combo as I'm sure most guys have. That would be pretty neat to see if it can be done. If you try it please post pics of it so we can all enjoy it!

The easyest way to do that would be to buy a 340 and put super C tin work on it.

Don't forget the steering column off the SC too.

And the touch control.

Never seen one. It would be a neat setup. Hope to see some pictures.

I will follow this thread with interest as I know where all of the necessary parts are to build one of these (mostly the rear end of a junked 340 (did they have live/independent PTO)) and have toyed with the idea. Sam

Sounds like a fun project. I hope someone does this and shares their pics with us.

Also, has anyone every made a Super B/BN?

Would a Super A or Super C center section (engine, hydraulics, bell housing, and sheet-metal, etc) match up to a B or BN front and rear?

The local CaseIH dealer has a B with Touch Control hydraulics on display, so, yes everything will interchange. You don't need to change the sheet metal, this one has the original sheet metal. Not sure if the engine is a C113 or C123.

Some tractor jockey has a custom job they call a "Super B-TA."

Close inspection though proves that its neither Super, nor a B, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have a TA. It has frame rails. An A/B/C-derived tractor wouldn't have a frame. It's center-drive. Anything derived from a B should be offset. It doesn't even have an IH engine in it. In reality it looks like a shortened H with some mutt engine crowbarred in... Total lack of creativity if you ask me.

I saw pictures online of the "Super B-TA" and it is a shortened H with a single cylinder engine. I think I read somewhere on the gentleman's website that the TA lever is connected to a gear reduction on the single cylinder engine, but I might be wrong on that.

I have a B that has the cover plate where I could add a hydraulic pump from an (super?) A or C. Did B's C113 engine ever come like that or does mine have a replacement engine?

When we got the B going the local parts man asked if it was a later one with the provision in the block for the hydraulic pump. Would be a handy thing to have on it.

A mock "Super B" or "Super BN" can easily be built by combining a Super A with a B or BN. However it would not be a "Super B-TA". The mock "Super C-TA" can be made with a little or considerably more difficulity. I would still like to have a mock "WR-4" or "Super WR-4" as the ricefield 9's are my favorite looking tractor but a mock "4" version of one would be small enough to haul around practically. I have considered, several times, turning my I-4 into a "WR-4" but decided to keep it stock. Maby someday I'll get a second 4 series tractor and make the mock conversion.
