CNKS: I think your tractor probably had the spider gears when new. Note they were gone from my 560 by the time it was 8 years old. That was true of a lot of them. The draft control was only marginal at best. In 1970, IH wanted big bucks for those spider gears. Most folks felt it just wasn't worth the dollars, for something that they never were sure it worked.
I know in my case I had a 300 rear chassis, I'd bought for parts, replaced that tele-a-depth valve with a regular double-single action valve. Bolts right in a 460-560 valve bank, and valves are the same, Utility or Farmall.
The only exterior difference between tele-a-depth valve and double-single remote is the shaft coming out both sides on tele-a-depth. On tele-a-depth one shaft is attached to control lever, the other shaft to draft linkage, inside there are spider gears between the two shafts. The valves may be positioned differently on a Utility from Farmall, but the valve is exactly the same.
I was one of the first in my area to have those spiders break. After my change over to regular valve, I got several calls on how to do it, I've done a couple of Utilities, configuration may be different, but the same parts are all there. And when you put it back together with the single-double valve, it will look factory.
