The TA has developed a bad reputation. Completely undeserved, but most people are incapable of thinking through things logically and rationally to see the real situation. They jump to the easiest conclusion. Frankly that's a big part of the problem with our society today; everyone's brains are mush and they can't think for themselves. Think what you want of me for that comment, hate me if you must, but it's true, and I really don't care what you think.
Lots of these old tractors have bad TAs. The logical conclusion is, the tractor is 30, 40, 50 years old. The TA is just plain WORE OUT after thousands of cycles and countless of hours of use.
Most people, however, do not take into consideration the age and previous life of the tractor. They think that things last forever, and their tractor is in brand-new condition. The TA doesn't work, therefore all TAs are bad, nothing but problems...
Another thing that's beyond most people's comprehension is the fact that if they fix the TA now and do it right, that TA will last literally FOREVER. These tractors will never see the kind of use they had back in the day, and a properly maintained TA would last just as long as any other major component on the tractor.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
