And can we prove thats original? One of the other posters said he bought the shifter and knob to put on his '44. It will be year correct, but is that original to that serial? Prob'ly not.
So much has been changed and modified on our tractors over the years its a miracle they're still red! What they SHOULD be per IH is sooooo different from what we have, and really, is that so important. Year correct is as close as we can come, and unless the tractor has been in the family since it was built, we can't prove what it came with or without straight out of the factory.
I've got a '43 that I know HAD a steel knob/shifter set-up, but it was changed by the owner years ago (he broke the shifter shaft, and just replaced it with what he could buy cheap). I'm going to change it back, but unless the owner had told me, I'd never know that it wasn't original.
So a steel knob on a '46 is just fine....who knows if its original or not. As long as you're happy with it, then alls right with the world.
