Hurst, Not all SMs have LPTO. Only the later models, Specificly, the SMTA only.
Though the SMs are not usually broken down in to divisions by a lot of folks, I do.
There are 3 divisions or Series. So here they are.
Start with a regular ol garden varity M, then
Add the larger engine, and Disk brakes. This is a Stage I.
Add live hydrolics and move the Batt from under the fuel tank to under the seat. This is a Stage II.
NOW.. Add a TA (Torque Amplifer) and LPTO, and you have a SMTA.
There was one more Series of the SM line this culminated in the 400 IH tractor. This info can be found in Guy Fays book on the Farmall Letter Series.
Hope this helps
Later,
John A.
