There used to be a T/A eliminator kit, and the parts can still be found, but I personally would not even consider it.
The T/A is just so handy. That gear too fast in a tight spot? Pull the T/A. Running out of power? Pull the T/A. This gear too slow, but the next is too fast? Shift up and pull the T/A, and you'll be right in between.
There's only one major disadvantage to these older mechanical T/As: You can't go down hills with them pulled. The tractor must be in direct drive, or it will freewheel down the hill. Very scary, very dangerous, and one sure way to kill a T/A. Plowing and other forms of tillage provide enough drag to allow you to run down hills with the T/A pulled, but anything on wheels... make sure that lever is pushed forward before you start down the grade.
