In Reply to: SMTA LP? serial number posted by Duanes on March 10, 2010 at 08:50:20:

Duanes,
D is 5000 ft altitude pistons
S TA with LPTO
Pics! we need pics to more accurately tell you if your tractor is Factory or a conversion.
SM-LP Stage I & II have cross a wise tank,BUT! I have seen pics of SMTA-LP with the Stage I & II tank. Out in Arizona.
The Quinesential SMTA-LP has a long wise tank it has a Mono-Valve assembly at the rear of the tank @ the 11:00 position just forward if the rear end cap!
Most gas to LP conversions after dealer delivery, (Field conversions) had long tanks but the Fill/Vapor and Liquid valves were strung out individually along the side of the tank.
IH was very poor at keeping records,Info on the SMTA-LPs is scarser than hens teeth.
IH commissioned 500 to be built,it is believed that no where near that were built.3 yrs ago I knew of an old IH Field Tech that was commissioned bu IH to do Gas To LP conversion and had authority to re stamp the Factory tag! he had a little black book that was full on Farmers names, Tractor Serial #s, Dates and Address on all his conversion. He later died, Kids/Grandkids cleaned out his house and that little black book was lost and so was the Info it held!!!!
There were 2 main tank Companies commissioned to do that. Lubbock and San Angelo Texas. Tractors minus tanks ans carbs were loaded up and sent there by rail and truck! Trucks were loaded up with tanks and carb assemblies and sent back to the factory. Final assembly was completed at all three places. All tractors Are Considered FACTORY.
Later I learned that IH had commissioned 3 other tank companies in the Deep South to do tractors in those areas, I do not have the name or city where they were located at this time.
There is No Rhyme or reason to the Serial #s, no one I know has ever seen two senquential #s of any order.
Most info I have has been gathered from others, and from old IH Dealers, Shop hands, Field techs, ect, ect.
If you would like to visit hollar at me over the weekend and I will be glad to visit with you are anyone else. My # is 512-577-3837.Hope this helps.
Later,
John A.
