"Found an old 53 super A and gave 500 bucks---got it home and changed the radiator, re-worked carb. Runs real good and using it for gardening. Had my own parts from other Super A tractors, so not out of much extra money."

"I purchased my Super A to help plow snow from my 1/4 mile circular driveway. It replaced an old Dodge truck I had been using and applying band aids to for several years. The first year was a learning experience for me to say the least! It was all original, so 6 volt positive ground electrical system, original hydraulics, quick hitch and the offset rear PTO. We had 2 Farmall Super C's on the farm in Maine, so I more or less knew the workings of the tractor, but it had sat for a long bit unused. Once the bugs where worked out of it, it plowed beautifully, and still does today. Its workload has expanded greatly from a snowplow to pulling a back blade, running a belly mower, a 6 foot brush hog, cutting bar and pulling a homemade 6 x 10 cart for logs, brush, dirt and slate (we are bordered on 2 sides of our 10 acres by an old slate quarry). I plan on attaching a FEL to the old girl come spring. I have one sitting in Maine I just need to get here to Vermont."

"This tractor was bought new from the dealer in 1950 by my wife's great grandfather who died shortly after and the tractor went to his son who used it on his 10 acres of the richest farmland to be found anywhere. The ground had been tilled thoroughly, which allowed him to only spend about 6 hours per week for the first 3-4 weeks of Georgia's growing season. Some years of course required more or less time depending on the crop and amount of rainfall. He bought all the plows, and tools that fit the Super A when GGF bought it and utilized them accordingly. I inherited the tractor when Grandpaw died and sadly before I could move it to my meager farm, someone had stolen all but the disc harrows and the Sickle mower. They even took the draw-bar hitch for the 1 point connection. I left the tractor on my family farm in 1991 to attend college across the country. I was gone for 5 years and upon returning the engine had appeared to be stuck/locked up. After draining the oil and finding lots of water in it, we assumed the engine had cracked during some of the hard winters. We pulled the engine head off and found in the two down pistons, field mice nests. Water had come in through the exhaust as the rain cap had stuck in the open position due to winds and debris. The mice nests were of course underwater and the mice were long dead. We honed the cylinders, put on new piston rings, head gasket and valve cover gasket. After the repairs were made, we installed a fresh battery and the tractor engine spun over 3 times before firing off. It hasn't quit yet. Although over the years small little mishaps have occurred such as replacing the fan belt, some light body work and a couple front tires. I used the tractor bush hogging my property, plowing the garden, pulling logs and general farm use when and where a tractor would normally be needed/used. I installed a 3 point hitch that I made up on it that now allows me to lift the bush hog and a set of plows that were bought to work the garden."

"Bought in Jan. 2011 to push snow. Wouldn't move without chains. So I bought a set off Ebay for $250 bucks. Now it goes about anywhere. Really reliable tractor. These were made to last and they have. It leaks here and there but nothing major. I'd like to have it restored this summer if the funds allow it. Bought a belly mower for it for $600 and mowed my pasture back property. It does better than I thought it would. This is a good tractor for my uses."
