Mornin Guys,
Thanks guys, it is definitely a fun tractor, cant explain it, its just fun.

Alan, go buy it if you can, you wont be sorry. Make sure the block is in good shape.

Rob, you should know better than anyone about the satisfaction of the work you put in your projects, youve done more than your share

Birdhunter, I dream about 10 Farmalls and a barn to keep them in

Roxynoddle, yep I would love to own an H. My buddy has a Super H that I have been tryin to get from him and he wont let it go

To be fair about it he is rebuilding the tractor himself

Hi ya Scotty, Boy that is a great picture! I notice your trailer looks almost as good as your tractor, same style paint job on the wheels , Very clean....

When I did my car trailer , I put and older style factory wheel on the trailer that matched my truck... So I know how **** a perfectionist can be

But who cares , It makes us happy with out bothering anybody except those who might be jealous

Mornin Mark,
The trailer was pretty descent at one time but its sits outside and needs to be cleaned up again, some rust on it etc... But the tractors look good on it behind the truck

Alan, boy I could take you up on the logsplitter really easy

Hey, does that Super A have the mid mount sicklemower ??? I think thats the A-22 mower, wouldnt mind havin that either. Fryeburg,Me is only 170 miles from East Wells,Vt

I tried sendin you an e-mail but I got thrown to the wolves

Later !

Evening scott,
The tractor had a rear sickle bar,it caught my eye because ive been looking for one for my kubota.Im not 100% sure the tractor was an A .I remember thinkingwhat a cute little bugger it was. When i saw yours ,i thought it was the same tractor.For some reason i recall it being gray primer color.I think it was being restored.If i get time ill check it out.

Hi Alan,
The rear sickle mower is the IH 16A, I have one for my 42 A. But the 22A midmount for the Super A would be the cats *****

Heck you wouldnt even have to turn around and look back, just down and right

I have a rear mount I want to rebuild for my 41 A. But, what advantage does a sickle mower have over a rotary mower? Is the sickle good for average field mowing, or just cutting hay? I have only used the rotary mower before, on my Kubota.

Afternoon Robert,
The sickle mower gives you a much nicer cut IMO, and you can get under trees with overhanging branches easier than a tractor that has a bushog behind it. The problem with the sickle mower is if you dont bale the hay or pickup what youve cut, the second cut will plug the bar up with hay thats laying on the ground allready. Thats what I ran into when I was using the 42 A to mow off my fields. Now I use the Massey with a bushog. But the sicklemower gives you a nice clean cut and low to the ground also.
