he has a SM-TA LP with the Long wise tank and a conversion with a Stage I,II crosswise tank.

What information do you have on the tractor tank you are looking at? I can give you a general idea if ,it is correct. Also would be helpful to have the tractor serial number.

Here are some tank photos for what you are looking for. I have two of these West Texas tractors. Their tags are 61 numbers apart. One has the ES suffix and the other is a DS. The tanks are made by Wendland Mfg. in San Angelo, Texas. The tanks are dated 1954.
I've seen another MTA like these at the Temple tractor show. It was very much unrestored and in work clothes.

Left side view showing valves. The rear hood mounts are welded to the front of the tank.

This view shows the tube for the steering and throttle.

This shows the 10 o'clock location of the valves and the fuel gauge at 2 o'clock.

This is the other tractor, showing a closeup of the valve assembly.

Thank You Stew,
Wondering; is the hood same as gas hood or is it modified?
Seems like there is a added piece between hood and tank.
You can p.m. me if you like.
Thank you for your efforts!, Tony
