picture of serial tag needed SMTA

Anonymous-0 · Aug 19, 2009

Hello:
Could someone tell me where I could find a picture of a serial number tag from a Super MTA? I bought a replacement tag and want to get the right text size for the model and also the rpm's which are printed not stamped. Thank you for any help! Mark R.
PS I have capability to do where I work

Try the OEM Catalog.

They don't have the text for model or rpm, Thanks though!

During the SMTA production run, IH had at least two ID tag suppliers. That is a common tactic among mfgs. They need competitive bids and an alternate source.

One supplier used inferior ink/paint and these tags are totally bare of anything but the stamped digits.

I have seven SMTAs. This is the best tag that I have. I thought about cleaning it with diesel fuel but I am afraid any cleaning might accelerate the weathering.

It should also be noted that there were two sets of stamping dies. You are looking at the larger size. The smaller set was about about one half as large.

I would do as advised by others. Just order a new tag from OEM.

I would call OEM and see if they will refer you to someone who can stamp their tags. They must have a contact or two.

"Do Not Overload" Overload what? What are the load limits?

The same tags were used on the "Skyall" and "Waterfall" planes and ships that the company was famous for. In fact, they built 95% of everything in WW2.

The engine -- just use common sense, when it pulls down, shift to a lower gear if no TA. Don't run it for more than a few seconds at a time at less than the rated rpm. If it does not come up, shift.
