[AT] Farmall Super A vs 100

[charlie hill]

Grant,   maybe Al Jones will speak up.  He's the resident Super A expert.  I 
don’t have any books that cover them but I would have sworn that a 100 was 
basically the same tractor as a Super A, just a few years newer.   I don't 
know when the A's became super A's or what changes took place during their 
run.  I will tell you that a Super A, in it's time was as good a one row 
cultivating tractor as there was on this planet and that is coming from an 
AC man.   They are still popular here for folks with big gardens.

No, I'm not looking to start a fight betwwen the two models of tractors.
LOL. I came across an ad for a Super A with cultivating bars on it. I have
three 100's that we use for cultivating, pipe and carrying produce. The
Super A shows as smaller engine, weighing 240 pounds less and older. I'm
debating purchase to use as either a cultivating tractor or a parts unit.
I'm thinking I should hold out for a parts unit that is the 100 for full
crossover of parts and that since I am too tall to operate these, that I
should think on cultivating tractors still holding out for the Oliver 77's I
love?
