The Super MTA was the final refinement and the really good one of the true M series in the eyes of a lot of M lovers. Even though the 400's and 450's were pretty much M's under their skin, they just didn't have the "pizazz" the Super MTA had. They just didn't look right for an M and a lot of older potential buyers didn't like it. And some people that were planning and saving for a Super MTA were truly disappointed when IH came out with the 400 replacing it so soon. Some were hoping for a lot more than they got when they bought a 400...even the obvious extra power the later 450 gassers had didn't please 'em all...and then some didn't like the white contrasting color. The 460 and 560 was welcomed by some...but some didn't like the new and quite different styling and the different way they handled...or the mono-tone,humming, 6 cylinders...and if you looked carefully at them you saw too much "old H and M stuff" stuck in them. Then they started having trouble with them...and well, the rest is history. I wuz there, "red to the bone", and I remember.......Our local dealer at that time (Johnny Carr) was pretty vocal and we used to hear a lot from him. He died a little with the 560 and it's troubles, but was born again when the 706's and 806's came on the scene.
