It sure does look nice and straight. Does it run as good as it looks?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Thanks.
I went back in and did some changing and got the pctures to show up. Never had that problem before.
Also corrected the year of the tractor.

Tractor runs great. Plan on tearing down and fixing up a few things and painting.
I'll probaly get flamed for saying this; but as nice and straight as that tractor is, if the paint is original , I would leave it alone. The world is filling up with tractors that are painted up better than they ever were.
A nice original in it's "work Clothes" is refreshing.
Best,
Mike

Mike - I couldn't agree with you more! All the pretty painted ones are nice but there's just something about a nice original or even an not so nice original that has weathered the time and is still going.

I will not flame anyone for expressing their opinion. I agree that the original look is better if you can find them that way. I have a Cub that is original and that is the way I plan on keeping it.
The picture of my A does not look too bad, however a closer look reveals the paint is not original. Someone has repainted it before and did not do a very good job. The paint is not all the same color and there are places on the grill where you see brush marks. As someone else points out the decals are also incorrect so I plan on cleaning and painting to look like new if possible. I want it to look like new which means I do not want the shiny glossy automotive type finish of some show tractors. I found the proper decals for it so hopefully I can get the paint to look like I want it.
I have a BN that is painted up with the high glossy finish which looks great but it almost looks too good. Hopefully my A turns out to look more like the original new look.

A is like the Big Brother of the Cub. Has an engine that's almost double the displacement of the C-60 (112 ci), and generally larger all around. It also entered production sooner than the Cub. I don't know when it ended production. I have yet to see one with hydraulics - was that offered on the A?
