Bob: Wardner is correct you might have been polite enough to link this to the previous thread. Since your not, I'll speak my peace. I said the Super MTA was not as you claimed. "ahead of it's time" my feeling was IH were about 8 years behind the time. Both the Cockshutt 40 and Oliver 88 had 6 cylinder engines, both Cockshutt and Oliver had Independant PTO by 1946. Cockshutt had live dual action hydraulics by 1946. Not sure when Oliver go the live hydraulics. Both Cockshutt and Oliver had a much better range of gears at working speeds. I also said that SMTA could not hold a candle to Cockshutt 40 or Oliver 88 either at the drawbar or on the pto shaft. I stand by that and if that creates a problem for you, so be it. I'll now go one step further, and by the way I clocked over 75,000 hours on 5 TA equipped tractors. TA did not give one a wider range of working speeds, it did little more than reduce 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd. We waited for 8 years for a TA that would hold back on the low side. Cockshutt and Oliver both had durable IPTO from day one in 1946. I had a 300, 560 and 504, let me assure you IH IPTO was not durable until the introduction of 06 tractors. Don't talk fast hitch to me, I cut two of them up for scrap before the tractors were 10 years old. By the way Harry Ferguson won the hitch war before IH sold it's first fast hitch on the Super C.

Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
