The big issue with the older 2+2s was that the engineers didnt really count on farmers weighting the tractor down, adding duels all around, and turning the pump up. The transmission (especially the front) was not designed to handle the strain. That is why it is best to leave the pump at factory specs and add just rear duels if needed. The farmers wanted the 2+2s to be a cheap Steiger and soon found out it was not and that is where the bad name came from "Junk tractor done blew up 'nother transmission! I only added bout 50 extra horses and weights! IH cheated me!"
If you wanted the big boy transmissions and more power you would have had to have been one of the few that go a Super 70 2+2 as they received bigger/beefed up transmissions same as the 5X88s (essentially magnum transmissions). By that time IH engineers had caught on to farmers mentality and built the 2+2 to match (and probably priced like a Steiger too). But it was too little too late as the company pooped out before very many Super 70s escaped the factory. Word is that they sent employees down the line of already built super 70s and had them cut a hole in the transmissions before scrapping them.
