I agree that I like the styling of the letter series better than the number series; the red and white 50 series were an improvement over the 00 series. But I believe the length and wheelbase of the MTA and 400 were the same and both had the C264 engine. I think the 400 had better hydraulics, plus fast hitch. So I don't think it was a step down, just not as much of an improvement as it should have been, because the letter series technology was getting old. In many peoples minds the 460/560 was the step down, because of the rear end problem, and because they were longer and less manuverable (so I've read). Also, some people say the 450 will outperform the 560, despite more rated hp in the 560's 6 cylinder. Perhaps IH should have skipped the 400 and 450 and brought out the 560 done right. Actually the ones done right didn't happen intil the 706/806 appeared -- too late. I'm getting too far away from the original question.
