Just how many SuperMTA's did they make with the wide front end? A friend of mine just picked one up last week and would like to know if it's worth keeping together or rip the frontend off and make a puller out of it. He said it had the factory cast iron wide front. Thanks in advance for the replys,
Charles
Most all the machines came from the factory with the narrow front. Farmers bought the wide front ends as an option. They had to have the narrow front though for mounted corn pickers, frontend loaders, cultivators, and so on. Thus alot of farmers swapped back and forth if they felt the added stability of the wide front was needed, I know my granddad did with the old SMTA they had. If the frontend is original and not welded it's worth quite a bit but there is no official count so to say. Also I ask why make a puller out of the machine. If he paid the going rate for SMTAs then why make a puller out of it? There are better machines to make pullers out of to be honest. If he wants a puller pickup an old M or a Super M and go that way. You can get a M or Super M alot lighter and get the same power out of the motor. Plus some pulling associations won't let you use a TA (I believe it's a stupid rule) so why use a SMTA to pull with if you doing it competitively?
