Farmall SMTA LP's and other LP Farmalls were put under cotton pickers. LP was the fuel of choice for most tractors, cotton pickers, and combines in the Mississippi Delta in the 50's and early 60's. The one row pickers were mounted during picking season and unmounted after picking was over and the tractor was returned to regular tractor configuration. Two row pickers introduced with the 220 & 214 in 1957 were self propelled. On the high drum picker tractors, the rear axles had flanged housings. Bull gears mounted on these axles reversed the direction and a 7:50 x 20 guide wheel was placed on the steering in lieu of the regular tricycle or single front. On low drum pickers, the differential was flipped and shift rails were moved to the opposite side to reverse the tractor. Doing this and mounting or unmounting the picker was time consuming but not particually difficult.
