TA

Once whatever has been done to by-pass the TA, can they be made operational again?

Are TA's unreliable or just expensive when they finally do break?

What you need to determine is if the TA lever and linkage were simply removed, or if there is even a TA in the tractor.

I'm sure that whatever was disabled can be reinstated and repaired to original form.

I'm gonna be going thru the same problem as you on a tractor I'm buying, so maybe we'll both get an education on this issue.

Dunno, I had never heard of a bad T/A until I got into this 'old tractor hobby' and started dealing with these 'high-hour' units. T/A's always seemed to work great for me on all the IH tractors I ever owned.

At any rate, I can't imagine farming without a T/A; it's a very handy feature.

My dad used to Farm with a JD 720 back in the 60's. He really can't tell you much about working on them though. When he had it, it was almost a new tractor. It just ran.

We now have to concern ourselves with repairs that folks didn't used to have to worry about. I'm new to the "hobby". When I used to use these old tractors in the late 70's they were just old tractors.

trust me i may only be 17 but my father and grandfather sold IH tractors and all MTA's and super MTA's came with the torque in them. granted many people did remove them after a week or 2 if they didn't use them or in the west they were removed at the dealership because the TA was never used.

P.s. LET ME GUESS U ALSO WILL ARGUE THAT IH ALSO HAD PRODUCTION SERIES H TA'S. I WILL SAY THERE WAS AN H TA BUT IT WAS ONLY EXPERIMENTAL.
