I'm not aware of any location, but ask away. TA stands for torque amplifier. TAs were featured on International tractors. We ran Minneapolis-Molines, and one of our tractors, a M-5, had an AT. They called theirs an Ampli-torque so as not to infringe upon others. Basically with the AT you pulled a lever that shifted the tractor down into a slightly lower gear to keep from lugging the engine down through a hard spot. No clutching and manual shifting of the transmission was needed. To gear back up you just pushed the lever forward again. ---------- Three point hitches are rated in size and lifting power by "category". Category 0 would be lawn tractor sized. Cat I would be utility sized and older tractor sized. Cat II, getting into some fairly heafty lifting power--what you would find on 100 hp tractors, etc. That definition is generalized of course. --- You can use reducers in order to use Cat I equipment on many Cat II tractors. The pin sizes are different that hold the equipement on.
