[Farmall] Need IH Super A parts on the west coast

[Jim Becker]

John's comments pretty well sum it up.  The only Super As that came with the 
123 engine were the Super A1s and they also had a water pump and pressure 
cooling system.

If you want a fully functioning Super A, there are very few parts (among 
those you ever need) that can be used from an A.  Even the fuel tanks don't 
swap because of differences required for the hydraulics.
