Mike if I were looking at it that way I'd say the 100 was the son of the A 
and 140 son of the super A (that's in terms of power)  I really don't know 
anything about 130
's other than they made them.  My uncle had a 140 in the late 50's.  A fine 
tractor for a small tobacco farm.   I knew what you meant.  Just had to poke 
a bit of fun.
