Ya know the one thing that i have learned in the fiftysix years of working on cars trucks tractors bulldozers is that they never had enough POWER , turn them up . I am just a guilty as any and i have turned up the wick on just about everything i have ever owned , I have had some real fire breathers over the years and they will only stand somuch before you find the weak link . being it the engine or in the drive line something is going to give . There is nothing wrong with the 466 if you do not get carried away with the wrench . and you have some common sense . Ya want to see a DT 414 running that is turned up and has been living this way for the last twenty five years that it has been in our stable come set your donkey in the seat of it and latch on to our five shank ripped and go six inches down into the clay and see , now that six inches of clay layes eight inches to ten inches below the top soil and even with the duals on you can break them loose in first high . THE DMI block man said we would never be able to pull that tool with 7.5 inch tiger points proved him wrong . and yes we are turning that engine at 2850 RPM . I'll let ya know when the pin fall out of that hand grenade . There are just some people that can destroy and anvil with a rubber hammer in five seconds and each and everything they touch is junk when they are done . Now as to engine swaps i do not mind doing them as long as it is easy and the cost and benefits are worth the effort . The easy swaps are on the OLIVERS , but you still end up with more then the tractor is worth . you may be installing a better engine with more pony power BUT you still don't have the rest of the tractor to be better as you still have the factory hyd.system that is to low on GPM and pressure for todays needs , Yes a Cummins repower on them is almost a drop in and bolt up deal , working on one of them now and maybe one more before spring . But we still have and OLD carcase under it. The guy with the 407 problems is ahead of the game to fix what he has and move on less money less time and still have a good tractor for her time.

Today's Featured Article - 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
