I've only seen one Super A-1 in my life and I've been a Farmall man for as long as I can remember. You can't beat a Farmall for row crop work. The Super A-1 had the C123 engine like the 100, 130 and 140. The Super A had the C113 engine.
Hi Mark, bought the Super A from original owner back in mid 90’s. Had no clue that it was a Super A1 until a few years ago when I watched a video on you tube that showed what the differences were compared to a regular Super A. I realized that mine had some of those items and sure enough as I dug deeper into it everything they talked about matched up. As you said, the Farmall’s are great row crop tractors. A true piece of American farming history. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
I've got 3 ones a49,51&52 great garden tractor the super A is hard to beat.
That is awesome. You are correct, the super A was a game changer back in the early farming days. Sure makes the garden work a lot easier. Used it today to plow the garden. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
Best tobacco tractor, 47 super A all my life
I agree. Grew up on Super A’s trucking tobacco. Seems like every farmer around these parts had one back in the day. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
Yes sir Definitely a Super A1 . Pretty much a Farmall 100 skinned in Super A sheet metal. Nice video and neat row marker.
Thank you. I love this old classic. Owned it for 25 years and never knew it was a A1. Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
So amazing and thank you so much for sharing your experience and your work sire mine has the big Handel to lift the call dividers up and down
You very welcome. Really enjoy sharing ideas and tractoring stuff. I remember driving the Farmall “A” on the farm back in the 70’s.
I just got a 1941 A ❤
Awesome. Love me so old Farmall’s. Good luck with it and thanks for checking out the video.
Nice old beast! Makes me want to refurbish the one in my yard. Great video.🤠🪵🌲🚜
Thank you. You should do it. Would be some great videos to post. Hope you are doing well.
Very nice! I have a '56 100 w/4 pcs. of fast-hitch equip. & several other attachments & accessories. The 100 was also the first year of the deluxe high back seat that's on most all of the 140's! Purchased in '06 from Raymond Strum in Henderson, N.C. Still runs great and they were the best garden tractors ever made, imo. A - 140. Thanks for the video! From Sophia, N.C.
Totally agree. Those offset Farmall’s like that make the ultimate garden tractors. They were made to last. Too bad we can’t buy tractors made in the USA like that anymore. Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
Good evening Jeff, very cool video thank you for the information! Hope all is well.
Hey Joe, all is well. Hope things are good for you too. Thanks for checking out the video.
1954 and still working!!. I don't see the Kioty lasting that much. Iron machines will last forever. You are keeping it in excellent shape, beautiful machine.
Thank you. I’m pretty sure you are right, no way these tractors of today can hold up like that. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesome tractor!!!
Thank you and thanks for checking it out.
Nice rig Jeff. Grew up with an M, tricycle front. Getting delivery on a DK5310 on Wednesday.
Congrats. I know you will love it. I’m sure you already have many projects planned for it. Hope it serves you well. Take care.
Thanks for the video. I got bit by the "red bug" in February when I revived by 92 year old FIL's Super AV. I rigged an old Cole Duplex planter behind it and planted the garden. Since then I've bought a 53 Super A, a 100, and another Super AV. I need to check the 53 Super A it has the dipstick which surprised me. I hadn't noticed any of the other A1 attributes, but it might be a 54 instead of a 53. I'll be looking for the "Z's" on the block and clutch. New sub, been watching Jtwes to learn the tractors. Thanks again, Ken
Hi Ken, I know what you mean about the "red bug". I think these tractors are a true part of American farming history. The "Z's" are also located on the front wheel rims, forgot to mention that in the video. Sounds like you have a awesome setup with the Cole planter. Seems like every farmer around these parts had some model of a Farmall back in the day. Thanks for checking out the video and subbing. Take care.
@@backyardcountrylivin1514 Thanks for the reply Jeff. Yeah, I picked up an A-180 belly planter and an IH Duplex planter to go on the Super A and restored them. I also got a couple of fertilizer distributors. I'm going to set the Super A up for planting and the AV's for side dressing cultivating. They are awesome tractors. I remember my cousin having a cub when I was a kid and my uncle had a Super C. Love the sound of the old farmalls! Can't wait till fall gets here to plant a fall/winter garden here in lower Al.
@@customcutter100 sounds like you are going to be busy. If you are ever up in the Virginia area, just south of Richmond, you should check out Keystone Truck and Tractor museum. They have a awesome display of Farmall’s as well as many other brands.
Really nice tractor, I want to get an A someday I was going to buy 1 a few years ago but didn't happen
Thanks. I love the old Farmall’s. Hope you are able to get one soon. Thanks for checking out the video.
Super a uses thermo syphon for cooling..
Thank you for the info. I always thought I had a Super A until I had a water leak and realized it had a water pump. I never even knew there was such a thing as a Super A1 until I started looking around on line. That’s when I read about the A1 having a water pump and then I started to match up all the other differences. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Because the super A1 has more HP than a super A it generates more heat when the engine is working. There fore the cooling system had to be improved. Tractors without a water pumps relied on thermo cooling. As the engine begins to work, it gets warmer and warmer. When the water get hot enough, the water expanse and rises which forces the cold water in the radiator core to go down into the water jacket of the engine. As the water circulates the hot travels down ward through the radiator core and the fan forces air through the veins of the radiator core, which cools the hot water. When a water pump is added the water is circulate faster which improves the cooling of the engine.
Hi James, great explanation. I never knew exactly how the Super A cooling system worked. Thank you for explaining it in detail and thank you for checking out the video and commenting.
Nice tractor. I may have missed it if you mentioned it but any idea how many A1s were built?
Yes, tractordata.com says 1672. Read on another site that it was 1500, so not sure exactly but somewhere in that range. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
@@backyardcountrylivin1514 thanks for the video, the tractor info, and the website.
Great example of a true A1.
I've acquired 2 that match yours exept for oil dipstick. One is early serial # and the other is late serial #.
I wonder if that was a dealer option?
Great question. Apparently they is somewhat of a mystery about the dipstick. Below is a link to a video that talks about it. They are thinking maybe it came from factory on the later models or as you said may have been a dealer add. Serial # tag on mine is in rough shape and I can only make out a couple of the #’s. Funny thing is I had it for 25 years or so and never had any idea it was a A1. Glad you have been able to get your hands on some. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
