I don't know anything for sure about cotton harvesters but have some questions and comments about the subject.
At SM time period was the cotton harvester factory in memphis TN. the location cotton harvester units were installed on tractors that were desinated to be factory cotton harvester ones?
If so some info makes it look like there was a surplus of SM tractors shipped there to install units on. Looks like a good bit of SM tractors were returned from memphis and converted to regular tractors.
With a excess of tractors for C.H. demand it makes me wonder if a very small number of T/A tractors got a cotton harvester.
Was thinking the SM tractors had the casting filled in at one place and the brake pedals were drilled? Drilled hole being the only difference from regular?
Interesting story if I can remember it correct.
Cotton harvester built on H chassis in 1943 and used from I think the Fresno CA. area was donated to the Smithsonian Institute after being refurbish. Owner of the first one built in 1943 returned his to IH upon retirement and it was scraped. Story is he was pretty upset and raised H. Think he was from the south.
