Answered this not long ago but will try to explain. The distance from where the 4 frame rail bolts on each side go in the bolster was moved rearward in the bolster itselve which made the distance the same as MD SMD. tractors. On the MTA 400 450 they made bolsters the same for gas and diesel. Someone in IH probably wanted to know why they needed to make both size bolsters for M SM and MD SMD. To make this more clear when a SMTA bolster is bolted to frame rails (which are same length on M SM MTA) It moves the vertical steering shaft and radiator mounting forward around 1 1/2 inches or close. To make up distance on the longer tourqe tube space was left between gas tank and steering post. If you look at SM and SMTA live hydraulic reserviors you will find 2 sets of mounting holes for rear gas tank support. Front set for MTA rear for SM. One other thing on gas tractors if a fellow does a good job of shortening frame rails and making new holes to put a MTA to 450 type front bolster on that makes radiator the same distance as a M gas. then use lower coolant pipe and steering worm shaft from M. M hood will fit MTA just like it does on a M and most people will never notice. No I have never sold one like that.
