The very last Super A's were "officially" called Super A-1's.  They were
sort of a mix between a Super A and the Farmall 100.  They had a factory
water pump, taller radiator, taller grille (more like a Super C grille) and
the gas tank sat up off the hydraulic system a little higher than a regular
Super A.  They also had a big steering wheel like a 100.  The best way to
tell is look at teh serial number plate, it'll say FAA-1, and look for the
bigger steering wheel and taller grille and gas tank.  The decals didn't
change. There weren't a lot of them and are pretty collectable.  I know of
a nice original that spent its whole life around Washington, NC, only
farming 1.5 acres of tobacco and a veggie garden.  The steering was still
tight and the tin was straight, it sold for $5000 to a collector in SC.
