If you need parts, look to the Southeast. Agri-supply should have 
aftermarket shanks, cuffs and wedgebolts.  Anything else you need should be 
able to come from a salvage yard. I recommend Fitts in Cascade, Va, and 
Greenes in eastern N.C.  Since those tractors are still in high demand for 
gardening here, the prices of some of the cultivator and fertilizer 
distributor parts can be  expensive. A lot of parts are being reproduced but 
may be more for function than accuracy---bear this in mind if you are trying 
to please the correct police. If you get in a jam on used parts, send me an 
off-list email and I can put you on to 3 "local" shops that part these 
tractors out and carry aftermarket parts.

By the way, the Super A is in my opinion the best of offset series. I've 
driven them all and the Super A's handle the best. We do have one with a 
deluxe seat upgrade that is nice.  Maybe I'm partial to these since it was 
the model I learned to drive on. I can't stand the jumbo steering wheels or 
gear reduciton steering boxes on some of the 1xx series. Most folks around 
here love 140's, probably because so many came from the dealer 12 volt and 
with fast-hitch.

Just brought home a Farmall Super A with cultivator.  I need a couple
shanks to fill in the cultivator properly and the rear gang is not
there.  Parts hunting again.

The little tractor itself is pretty good.  Missing the battery box and
the rear light.  Runs nice and everything seems to work as it should.
