The TA or "Torque Amplifier" allows for the operator to choose between "high" or "low" gears in essence. When the operator needed more torque while doing field work they would pull back on the handle engaging the TA and gaining more torque to handle the conditions. There are guys on here who can explain exactly how the TA works mechanically much better than I can. As far as how it should be used, I was told that if your going to pull the TA pull it like a man, don't pull it nice and easy, that wears the TA. If I'm right, your other post said something about a 460, we have a 560 and rarely ever use the TA. Pulling wagons, small spreaders, mowers, generally don't need the TA engaged, maybe if you got into some mud while spreading manure, but like I said we generally don't use the TA on the 560. Now, the 1066 and 1466 we do use them, those are primarily used for spreading (large spreader), plowing, disking, and planting and when we hit a wet spot or a steep incline the TA does a good job of keeping the tractor moving long enough for use to get back onto decent ground. Once there we disengage the TA and keep on trucking. Personally, if you don't need to use it, don't. It's an expensive part to have to fix and the less you use it the longer it will work for you when you DO need it. I know many people who have burnt up their TA and simply haven't fixed it, they just keep the tractor in the "higher" gears. ~Anthony

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
