Dukester, There is PRECIOUS Little information on the Stage III/ SM-TA tractors . First the LP were almost an afterthought. IH didn't keep good records Like John Deere an Case did. {ie Build Sheets}. There was documentation that 500 LP were to be built. But here is where the info get thin! The tractors were built at the factory Less carburation and tanks. The vast majority were sent to LP tank companies in Lubbock and San Angelo, Texas. Though there is some evidence that some were sent to other tank companies accross the South. When the trucks showed up with the tractors they were completed and sent on the the dealers. Then the trucks were loaded up with tanks and carbaration and set back to the factory to be completed there, then sent on to the dealers in other parts of the country. But You need to remember that most info out here has been gleaned from old IH shop hands and techs, and moble mechanics. The Quinessential SM-TA tank is a Longwise tank, Not the crosswise tank like on the Stage I & II Supers Like the LP tractors shown in Guy Fays Letter series book. This longwise tank has a monovalve assembly @ the 11:00 position at the rear of the tank with you sitting in the seat as a reference point. The longwise tank was used to help bridge the top of the engine after the longer torque tube that housed the TA unit added length to tractors overall length. Feel free to call me and I will visit with you, About this If you like, My # is 512-577-3837. Hope this helps! Later, John A.
