Ok....I might be answering my own questions here (but not down to the specs) after looking at some pictures on the internet and some of a 1975 140 we used to own.
Here is a 1975 IH 140 tractor. Notice that it has the following:
* 12 volt GENERATOR
* Twisted Flat Bar Touch Control Levers (seen on the 1976-1979)
* Screw-On Oil Filter
* Factory Key Start (no push button)
* Black Steering Wheel Center Cap with Red/White/Blue Decal
This tells me that all of these options (even the steering wheel & flat bar touch control levers came BEFORE the swap over to 12 volt alternator. I was thinking all of those options (but the oil filter) came with the factory alternator change, and I thought "key start" came then also.
Hmm.....gives us all something to think about and makes me want to get some 1975 owners on here to see what they have!
