Dr. Evil, Your last point brings us back to the point Hugh made which is that after all these years, the only way to legitimately determine the model of any of these tractors is the serial #, and casting codes. Merely changing Sleeves, pistons and other components may bring the HP to that of a "Super" or even a subsequent Numbered model, but that doesn't in itself make the tractor a "Super". By being familiar with a casting code chart, one can determine if that code matches the serial #. Through the years, many castings have been replaced througha a variety of reasons from replaced engines to axle housings, to rear end housings etc. The trained eye can tell which castings have been replaced if the replaced casting is from a different year. One can tell if the engine matches the serial # by matching engine sn to ID plate sn. I'm sure many or you folks here have seen the "SHTA" ( Super HTA") picture that has floated around. The truth is that IH never made a "SHTA". It was a well constructed tractor which featured "300" castings and "SH" sheet metal. The point is that so many parts are either inerchangable, or adaptable from one model to the other, but serial # and casting codes determine the model.
