Gary: This is it, proof that retired guys in Missouri have too much time on their hands. LOL I as much as anyone like what I see in these SHTAs. they make a nice looking tractor. Everyone on this forum, or at least the ones that read, know that my favourite Farmall from a styling point of view is letter series tractors. IH didn't come close again until 56 series, and with that added a functional tractor for modern day agriculture. From that perspective, anything anyone can do to make ugly 00, 30-50 and 40-60 series tractors look better, I'm with them. No it's definitely not the fact that some folks have actually built HTAs that annoys me. Rather, it's some hot shot coming along once a month thinking he knows all, and declaring that IH built and sold an SHTA. When I came to YT, I had decent knowledge of the tractors I'd farmed with, however there was then and still are a lot of things I don't know. Back then I spent 3 months brushing up on things I didn't know or had forgotten, before I posted a single post. I still read a lot more that I post. SHTA should be one of the easiest finds in the archives, thus when someone comes along asking the question, or making the declaration on HTA, you know right away he's too damn lazy to do a bit of reading. Further you also notice when that same individual get involved in other threads, he reads only the answers he wants to hear.
