The best Farmall ever made was the H and M and their super versions. They were the only tractor made by ANY company that didn't have a single weak point on the entire tractor. The best overall tractors ever made. There is a reason they made thousand and thousand of them and a lot of them are still in use.

As far as the TA is concerned... I'm sure a lot of people starting in '54 treated them like a 12 year old boy treats his ding dong when he finds out it ain't just for writing his name in the snow. When the fascination wore off and he learned how it's meant to be used, hopefully he would realize that if he didn't go jerking it any time he felt the urge or someone wanted to see how it worked that it would cost him much less money in the long run. Perhaps the IH dealers should have told the ol' boys that if you used it too many times you may go blind. I'm sure I would have been guilty of pulling it back too instead of simply lifting the disk up and inch or two in the tough spots. Imagine how neat of an innovation this was back in the day. Anyone would have used it any chance they got. Bad TA practices are still used to this day. I almost got fired telling my dumb*** boss when I was 16 years old that you shouldn't use the TA to slow down for turning corners in road gear. That was his solution instead of simply throttling down. You see what I mean?
