Thanks guys. It's not want I wanted to hear, but I'm glad to hear the truth. This tractor has been a disaster from the beginning. We wanted a small tractor (Cub, A, B, similar) for work in and around the barn by the ladies. We were told the C's were the replacement for the A & B and the only difference was the layout. Obviously, I figured out that wasn't true when I drove 250mi to pick this thing up (I pre-paid). It only fit on the trailer by jacking one side up. When I got it home, both ladies said they wouldn't be driving it as it was too big. I probably shouldn't have parked directly beside the Ford 2000 as the C dwarfs it. I've been out bid everytime but one when I tried getting a 2pt hitch for it. I DID finally win the auction for one, only to find out the bottom frame was for a 230 and wouldn't fit! So now we have a tractor that's too big for the need, too weak (20 vs. 32HP) to take over the "big" jobs and doesn't even have a hitch so I can't bush hog or grade with it!!!! Now I find that it won't work with a loader. I hoped that it would work so that I could justify having the stupid thing around. So much for that. It runs great and is fun to drive but that's all I can do with it. I'm really sorry I ever bought a Farmall, let alone this thing. Al, the loader is on eBay, #280070281385. Good luck with it! Just as a note, I'm not mad at anyone here. I appreciate the honesty and good advice. I'm just really sour on red tractors right now. Take Care,
Mike

Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
