Herb, I will handle the TA question. TA stands for "Torque Amplifier" it is actually an "International Harvester" (IH) term. What it is, is a lever that you could pull to slow down your ground speed without touching the clutch. This would allow a PTO (Power Take Off) driven piece of equipment to remain a the same operating speed but have less feed (via ground speed) applied. It could also be used to give the rear wheels more torque by increasing the gear ratio of the motor to the wheels. Basically, when the going got tough and the engine started to bog or labour you would grab the TA and slow down the ground speed. Other manufacturers had similar inventions they just called it something different. Massey Ferguson was Multi Power. John Deere was Over/Under (aka Rabbit/Turtle). Oliver had Hydra Power. So on and so on. Hope that wasn't to drawn out.
