HI,
I have been kicked around a little on this one,MORE than once! ;)
I know there are ALOT of M-TA lovers on this forum.(BTW,I AM one of them too!) But alot of folks are acting like they are just about NON exsistant anymore.
According to Guy Fay's data,there were 26,924 of them built in 1954.That is ALOT of tractors in that year.In that SAME year AND 1955,there were ONLY 24,440 Farmall 400s built!!!! (AND ,they had that "new fangled" thing called "Fasthitch"!)
As my "Daddy"(AND others on this sight!) said:"Their is about a "spit" of difference between the "Z" code M-TAs and the EARLY 400s.But their were LESS 400s built in 2 years of production compared to 3/4 or more of a year's production of the Super M-TA???? HUH???
Well,the poor old,straight up 1954 Super M (NON TA)WILL NEVER get it's due as being "rare",I guess??? :)
And ,BTW,The info in the "production numbers" section of this forum is "corrupt".It says around 2500 in the M-TA section.THAT is about the amount of DIESELS built,isnt it????
Sflem 849,isnt this the part you jump CLEAN all over me??? lol I am ready to take my "wippin" NOW!
