Even though I was not very old, I remember when my Father took delivery of his SW6-TA in April 15th, 1956. The tractor was a new leftover model. The dealer tried to sell him one in 1954. He had 4 in stock. In 1954 my Father completed major barn expansion and put in a barn cleaner, so I guess that the budget was stretched. Besides the W-6 was still doing the job. In 1955 a neighbour got a Massey-Harris 44 Special with LPTO. My Father priced a M and W LPTO for the W-6, but he decided to wait. Then in winter 55-56, He made the deal for the SW6-TA. It must have been quite an improvement from the W-6, and it had hydraulics. I also remember my Father saying that in 1955 he thought that the MH 44S was a better tractor than his W-6 (a wartime unit, bought in 1944). The SW6-TA apparently took care of the Massey's lunch.... We all know what IH's big stick could and would do!!!! QR
