TA being out on the low side is common, it means the TA will have to be rebuilt. It seems like about 1/2 of them are advertised as "TA slips on the low side". I've known a few that were used for years with the TA out, the tractor functions, you just don't have the TA but verses a M or SM you get the live PTO. If you're mechanical switching from a narrow to wide front is not difficult IF you have a place to work on the tractor with a good floor and stands or jacks to hold the tractor up while it doesn't have a front. As for actual wide fronts it all depends how "correct" you want to be, IH wide fronts from many letter and number tractors will fit, some won't be correct and there are a few aftermarket front ends both era correct and contemporary that will work, again it depends on what you want to accomplish. What in particular is the desire for a SMTA? The number tractors (400, 450) are improved versions of the SMTA can often be bought cheaper and more of them have wide fronts. Also consider if you want a wide front you're probably eventually going to find out you also want power steering, more common on the number tractors, so don't trade the narrow front away you might want to go back to it someday. Harder to find but still interesting tractors from that era are W6TA's the standard version so you already get the wide front and a little bit lower profile. So it's dollars verses desire you know WHAT you want do you spend the $$ up front or buy something that needs work and some parts swapping to get you where you want to be and enjoy the journey?
