The TA was IH's powershift. It is located ahead of the 5-speed transmission. It provides Direct Drive and TA range (underdrive) in each gear, giving you 10 forward and 2 reverse speeds. You can powershift between Direct Drive and TA without clutching. Most of the time when someone says "the TA is out", they mean it slips in TA range (lever pulled towards the rear). If this is the case, you will still be able to use the tractor in Direct Drive no problem, you just won't have the advantage of being able to downshift without clutching when you hit a tough spot while plowing. The cost of fixing the TA can vary greatly. If you rebuild your TA yourself, you'll spend around $200. If you install a rebuilt TA unit, it'll cost about $800. You need splitting stands to do this job, as the clutch/TA housing needs to be rolled away from the engine, and split again from the transmission. If you have a Case-IH dealer do the work, it'll be more like $1500. Remember, never travel downhill in TA range on a tractor with the mechanical TA like the 450. They freewheel.
