the thing that most dont think of when they talk about the TA is was that was the only shift on the fly on the market in 1954.
and we have had deere h the 4020 with the 8 speed power shift and m&w turbo was easy to drive but on our farm I had the choice between that or our 1206 with silver shift I always took the old 1206
I am new to red power and this site, but i did work at a IH dealer in the early 80s and always had red power on the farm. I think the fall was caused by many different things and no one reason was to blame, as with anything if you only knew then what you know now
