Dave: Mowers for SA, 100, 130 and 140 will all interchange. They will also fit on the A but you need a hand lift. I think you will also find there was a farm mower and a highway roadside mower. The one I remember as a farm mower, and this is in the era of the Super A was C-22. There was also a Cub version of the C-22 mower, really wasn't much different from the SA version, just mounting and drive pulley ratio, plus the Cub take off turns oposite direction. I don't know if IH ever changed the model number of the farm mower. Could this mower you have A1-23 be a highway mower? Did we by chance see this in photo adds awhile back? There was one on a 140 painted yellow and it was the highway mower. The highway mower is much heavier than the farm mower. I may also be wrong in using the terminology farm mower and highway mower. The C-22 was initially introduced as a 5' cut mower. Some dealers put 6' bars on them, IH frowned on this, saying the frame structure of mower was not heavy enough for the longer bar. The one I am calling highway mower was a 7' cutter bar with a break away. So just may be the proper terminology is 5' mower and 7' mower. A sickle mower is a sickle mower is a sickle mower, doesn't matter whether you mow a hayfield or the highway roadside. My dad had a C-22 mower, when he went larger he also went rear mount, so I don't know a lot about these larger mowers other than I have seen a couple of them. The IH dealer refused to put a 7' bar on a C-22 mower. I have a gut feeling the heavier mower came later, as dad liked his mid mount mower and the IH dealer knew it. Why don't you run a new thread, describe mower in detail, ie, width of cut, mounting, drive, etc. Next time just leave your suggested model number out, see what others list as possibilities.
