Adding a ta to a ta delete tractor

Posted by JD Humm on February 24, 2007 at 15:56:45 from (70.128.255.146):

I have a real nice F504D, has 1700 actual documented hours on the original working tach. I developed a transmission shaft leak at a local plow day this past fall. Got an appointment with our independent mechanic who was IH trained in the seventies to do the repair. He just called me, says "ya know, if you ever wanted to put a ta in this tractor, now is the time". I had been thinking about this off and on for the ten years that I have owned the tractor. He says it would run about $1200 to add the ta. Biggest problem would be coming up with the linkages but there are several good salvage yards close by. Am thinking I may just go on ahead and have him do it. If this were a high houred, worn out tractor, I would not even consider it but due to the low hours and excellent shape of the tractor I am seriously considering doing it. Sure could use that ta pulling the fast hitch 311 mounted plow. The tractor will pull the plow in third for the most part but when I hit a tough spot, I have to stop and shift to second. So, therefore, I usually just run in second to avoid the shifting up and down.

What do you all think? For $1200, is it worth the expense or not?
