My SA
by Dale Shaw » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:21 am
I finally got time to work on the SA. Put it all back together and it runs awesome, is strong, smooth, quiet. I did notice I have a radiator leak, but the cracked block does not leak at all.

Am I just seeing things, or is the left rear dished "out" and the right dished "in"? Is there a reason for that, implement wise? What kind of implement is attached in the pics?

Yes Roy, they are.
That is the way it was set up when I got it. I live on a hill, so I left it that way. It also has the front set wide, giving it a nice wide stance.
Also, you can not tell in the pictures, but the rear tires are foam filled, 9.5x24's
It has a 3 pt hitch and i have a middle buster/potato plow on it. It also has a, over-running clutch adapter, and a 90* angle drive.
It is not pretty, and needs a cosmetic makeover, but it is solid.
Being a late 1950 model, I would think it is one of the last ones with the multi fuel option(distillate).
She is going to make someone a nice worker.

Dale, the "A" is a great tractor capable of many tasks, I had one ( an A not Sa) for approx. 20 years and it gave excellent service.

Dale, it may not be a show queen, but if I had "spare money setting around about to go bad" I would be on that thing like a duck on a junebug! Tin looks nice and straight, only thing it really,really needs is to get them wheels set in to 44" and some 11.2-24's on the back! 
It's hard to tell in your pics, is the small gas tank still on it? How 'bout the shutters?
I like pretty much all IH tractors, but if I won the lottery (reckon I should buy a ticket first
) I would buy a nice 1586 to restore, fix the stuff up I already have, and then spend the rest buying up as many Super A's as I could! THey'll always be my favorite!

IH's are RED. Just say NO to yellow and white!
Let us pray for farmers and all who prepare the soil for planting, that the seeds they sow may lead to a bountiful harvest.

No. They are very different.

Al,
Funny you mention winning the lottery. My daughter says I will never win it, cause you do need a ticket.
As Bigdog says, I never met a tractor I didn't like. I thoroughly enjoy my SA. It is very strong and a lot of fun to plow & disc with. I wish I had a Woods 59 for it. With it's power, that would be a grass cutting monster.
