Kraig, Josh,
Interesting. Like I said, you can't always believe everything you read in a brochure. I had never seen this one before, and cannot read the date code on it, but since it says it is for the 100, 102, 122, it would appear it was dated later than the 70/100 Operators Manual which stated not to use the mid point as a neutral position. Most of the IH brochures and manuals were printed prior to a tractor, or in this case an accessory, actually becoming available (2 of the 10 Louisville Prototype Originals were used to develop manuals and advertising materials for the Original prior to production beginning) and IH may have originally planned for the creeper to have 3 positions, and that was something that didn't work out during actual testing or use. It is my understanding IH did not build the creeper, but I do not know who did, but like the bottom line on the specification sheet says, "Specifications subject to change without notice". You can find a lot of "flaws" in some of IH's printed matter, but by and large, the Operators Manuals were usually pretty correct, so I would tend to "believe" an Ops manual over a sales brochure.
Kraig must use two fingers to type, cause he is faster than my one finger "hunt and peck" method.

Paul, here's the date code on the one that Josh posted.
Hmmm, looks like the sales group never corrected it.

Paul B, I do that too but with both hands.
Paul, Josh, here's the one for the 70/100.
Well, I see they updated the speeds to account for the change to second gear...

hm.. so they did.
PAUL B. - Yep, L-O-T-S of typo's in IH promotional material. And I think KRAIG is correct, Sales/Marketing never talked to Engineering.... EVER.
And I agree 100%, take your info from the operator's manual. Much more accurate IMHO.

I have my 1977 1000 back together. I mowed with it for the first time yesterday and it did a wonderful job.
Last winter I used it with a 42" blade to push snow. I now have a qa42a thrower. Will this work on a 1000 without a creeper? I am worried that my ground speed will be too fast with the throttle up.
My dad has a 1250 I can use that he rebuilt the engine but the frame and sheetmetal needs to be painted before it can be put back together. We also borrowed some parts from the 1250 to get his 1650 running. I am unsure if it will be together before winter starts.

I'll chime in on the creeper issue, I think that all printed material passes over a lawyers desk first, thats why every thing is subject to change, just a big liability issue. I think the creeper gear needs to have neutral by design, just like your 4x4 trucks.
