When the T/A went away so bad on my 1086 that it could no longer be used in high, I installed the T/A eliminator and could not be happier with it. The T/A was NEVER used, the handle had probably not been pulled two dozen times since it was new. The dealer replaced the first one at about 4000 hours, the second one was done at 8500. The only times this tractor was down was for one fuel pump, and being an early 10 without the water filter, it took an in-frame at about 6500 hrs. due to cavitation. And it is true that the T/A was never adjusted properly after our tractors were delivered, but you know what, neither was the rest of the tractor, and they are still servicable. I am one of those people who believes if there is a weak spot in an older IH, it IS the T/A. The T/A may have gotten a bad rap, but I think they do not deserve as good of a rap as the rest of the tractor. After decades of hard use and abuse the 300, 450, and 560, all original owners on this farm, can still serve, but not a good T/A in the bunch. I remember when I was away at school for a couple years the hydraulic pump on the 450 started leaking fluid into the crankcase so every couple weeks they would drain a couple gallons out of the pan and pour it back into the hydraulics! The pto is about shot now but it is still a really dependable tractor. Sorry I strayed from the original question a little, but since I missed out on the T/A debate on the last page I figured I had better jump in here and take a few punches myself.
