Yes, the TA's could be the weaker point in the IH's that had them. Most of the time it was actually from owner/operators that thought they were being nice to them by easing them in or out, when that is actually the worst thing to do to them. They do require a split to replace but when replaced by some of the aftermarket and used briskly they will go 10,000's of hours.
Many of that series did not have the TA's which is actually a shame as it can work so nicely.
As far as 2wd drives working in the snow that was all that I used till 2015 on a steep icey driveway, they used to be dicey at times till I discovered the Euro style studded chains. They make an amazing difference. The Oliver 1550 that I traded in on the Branson and the IH 574 that I still have were my main driveway tractors and snow removal for many years. It was much less expensive back then to have the two older ones then one newer one and it gave an option if one was acting up to use the other.
The worst thing with the 2wd tractors was getting a front tire over the bank while pushing snow banks back, it could be difficult getting them to back up the hill and pull the front wheels back up on the roadway, another reason for a second one, plus it left me one for the generator when needed.

found some motivation and headed out to hopefully not fall off top of rv.
watched the youtube video twice, only have to cut three wires on a/c unit compressor,
they provide long leads, and I have those nifty WAGO lever connectors to click them all together.
Should be four phillips heads screws on case. They provide self stick tape to mount the little soft start box.
just have to man up and get up on that fiberglass roof. I'll make believe it's a boat deck...that I'm used to.
I really really don't like heights so will keep my eyes focused on hardware
this looks easy, said the lemming headed for the edge...

69°F and 0 inches rain.
Tractor tech a no show yesterday, said he was trying for today or Wednesday didn’t pressure for reason.
Picked up hopefully all the needed parts for my soaker irrigation from HD except hose and controller on order from Temu. Also a couple parts for the hydroponics. Geesh, $100 trip.
Sophie got Pilot serviced. I was annoyed she called they revised to estimate to over $2000. Particularly annoying they tried to convince her her 15k car needed new tires. Told her stick with the original. They decided not to rotate her tires so only $110. I can get better tires same or better price when time comes.
First priority is tractor tech, then organize around that info.
Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

65F and mostly cloudy @ 12:15, calling for a high of only 67F for the day ... 
Winds out of the North @ 10 -20 mph so it will definitely be a long pants and long sleeves day.
Loaded up the dishwasher first thing yesterday and then made the trip down to Menards and picked up order, in, loaded, and out in less than 10 minutes.
Got order unloaded after I started the dishwasher when I got back.
Bird seed unbagged and stowed away in containers.
Then refilled hopper and the two tube feeders. Also scattered some seed for the ground feeders.
Still need to remove the pallet out of the van.
Unloaded the dishwasher after it finished, set the cleaned canning jars on the dining room table upside down so they wouldn't accumulate dust. Mix of pint and quart regular mouth jars, still more regular-mouth quart jars to do along with the wide-mouths.
Started to reload dishwasher with the remaining dirty dishes, will get those done today, along with some more canning jars.
Saw groundhog out by the bird feeders, it ducked out of sight before I could go get the shotgun and get a shot off.
Woman wanted a large pizza for dinner so I ordered that and She went and picked it up. Had 4 slices and I was really stuffed.
Nothing much after that ... although I did get a sauerkraut packer ordered from Amazon ... but forgot to order the small mineral block holders. Doh !
Agenda for the rest of the day:
Get dishwasher started.
Haul compostables up to the pile + plus haul more empty mulch bags + other trash up to the trash can @ the road.
Fix live trap, re-bait, and get it set out.
Give heated bird bath thorough cleaning.
Plus whatever else comes up.
Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday ...

well that was disappointing
got my work bag filled with parts and tools and got up to top of ladder
and could go no further. Do not have enough arm strength to do this safely, nothing
to hang on up there, so I would have to lunge and pray. no....
so I waxed for awhile and picked a pepper and a tomato
taking a break, then will go out and work on my tool bags.
too much stuff where it doesn't belong, always a question of what I realistically need to take with me.
this trip I have a tire valve repair kit, since experience has taught me they can fail. Lots of fuses too and three kinds
of emergency tape.
wondering whether replacing a five year old radiator cap makes any sense if it works ok. Same thing with thermostat.
you know it will fail, but when?

went out and confirmed number on radiator cap and ordered a replacement oem one.
RT 1195 for a 2019 Ford V10. 16# 110psi
Funny, radiator caps used to be on top of radiators.
Now they are on top of plastic bottles...filled with green fluid right to the line.
also ordered a new thermostat for all of 12 bucks.
I might not install either unless temp readings go up.
I'll just feel better knowing I have them onboard half way across the Sonoran Desert.
only 72 in clouds and sun, felt wonderful to work outside

According to YouTube university, problem was the sensor. $146 at stealership (online they said half that).
Got it installed, and no blinking D light. Hard part is taking bottom plastic off. Also very hard to reach sensor, impossible to get wrench in there, but fortunately had a 22mm socket in a set I bought recently, and found the 1/2” swivel I bought in a set 25 yrs ago.
Changed oil afterwards as it was due.
Need to change transmission fluid, but not today. Will make sure this works first.
This is old one. My concern is new one didn’t turn as far as old one, about 120° less when tightened.

Having a radiator cap at the rated pressure for the engine will give more margin before overheating. See the table below. Most use a 50 percent mix for the coolant
