[Farmall] Strength of Super A fenders?

[Al Jones]

I think you will be ok with Super A, 100, 130 or 140 fenders.  They are
a lot heavier than on a straight A or B. They are close to 1/8" thick
while the A/B fenders are a lot thinner.

Subject: [Farmall] Strength of Super A fenders?

  It is very likely that the fenders on my Super A are replacements
(possibly from a B since the seat frames are from a B - all done before
I bought it). The problem is that the Super A upper lift arms are
starting to do quite a number on the alignment and integrity of the
fenders.
   
  I know that Super A fenders are supposedly heavier to accommodate the
forces exerted by the lift arms, but I wonder just how tough they are
before I go and try to locate a set. Mainly the tractor pulls a 6' rear
mowing deck (fairly heavy) but I only raise the deck on occasion. The
only other uses are a small dirt scoop and a small box grader.
   
  Will this tractor ever be capable of withstanding the forces I seem to
be generating, or am I asking it to do too much. I don't really know
what weight limit this type of system was intended to handle.
  
Thanks
