IPTO Farmall SM, rare???????

[Charles E. McNelly III]

Just how rare is the IPTO option on the Farmall Super M?
Thanks,
Charles

I don't think they are rare at all.

There was no IPTO option for the SM. It appeared on the SMTA, probably most had it, although some were equipped with the transmission driven pto, a few with none at all.

A friend of mine called tonight and found a Super M with IPO stamped on the seriel plate.
Any ideas????
Thanks,

The designation for IPTO without TA is P. Does he know the difference between an SM and a SMTA?

Should have mentioned that I is one notation for Rockford clutch, although J is usually used. Guy Fay's data book says O was not used. Your friend could be looking at an MTA not equipped with a torque amplifier that does have an independent PTO, except that the suffix appears to be wrong. If so it will have the TA housing with no TA in it.

Thanks, I'll pass along the info.
