Model Question

On my "44 M model I finally was able to legibly read it after getting all the paint off. My question is that is says model "MT" what does the "T" stand for or represent? thanks in advance

Tall? Does that mean it has any different specs or just larger tires? thanks

Let me back up. I thought you had a John Deere. I gotta think on this a while.

Tricycle frontend.

Does it by chance have a TA lever??? If it does then you have missed the one letter which would make it an MTA

Not if its a 44....

A goof up at the factory...FBK would be the normal prefix for a M, so either yours is a misprint, you have the wrong number to call it a 44, or a Deere went to IH and asked for asylum.

There were M models like:
M
MV
MDV
MD
and I think the MT was the tricycle single wheel front end.

V- High Clearance
D- Diesel
T- I believe single front wheel {Tricycle}

No, T is not in IH's vocabulary. On the C,H,M and later models, the fronts were interchangeable so there was no designation.

Wrong forum?--JD made an MT, not IH.

T was used on low drum cotton picker tractors, but I think that should be a suffix to the serial number rather than calling it the model MT.
