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

[John Hall]

Water pumps are very common on Super A's around here that were once used for 
heavy work. I think all 3 on the farm here have them. I'm sure there are 
lots of folks that don't realize its not original. But then again, these 
machines still have years of potential use, so if its an improvement, who 
cares? I'd hate to pull a 5ft belly mower in 95 deg heat without one!

We've even got one with a 140 style seat with a backrest---sure rides a 
whole lot better.
