Red Power Magazine ran an article a few years back on a experimental H with a TA. In the article they interviewed the last living engineer on the project and had a couple pics, probably the same as what Wardner posted.
IIRC, the engineer said they built the tractor in the late '40s though the pics from the WI Historical Society showed a 1952 date. He did say that they used a reg. H and the TA was different from what they ended up taking to production in the SMTAs. He also stated that the tractor was sent outfor testing at IH's research facilitys, then brought back & dismantled.
IIRC, the engineer stated that only one such tractor was built though someone mentioned that three were built and later destroyed by IH. It was fairly common for IH to build an expermental tractor(s) and then after testing to dismantle them & use the parts in another project.
Maybe someone would have a copy of the RPM article & would post a copy here.
