The show was fantastic. I've been to 5 of the last 6 - missed PA last year. Even tho Penfield had more tractors, I think the variety was better this time. The W450 has been mentioned. There were some SMTA's with restorations almost as good as the W450. The 450 was stunning. The Super HV and the Super MV were a nice pair and the Super MVTA was really nice too. The Vineyard cub from France was a first for me too. These were worth my going for 2 days. I'm always amazed at the financal commitment of people to bring tractors from NY, TX, CA, LA, OH, IN, etc. I sure appreciated having the opportunity to see these nice tractors. It's always interesting to visit with good people and learn. One owner had a Super A and and Super A1 and I learned the difference between a Super A1 and a AI. What I didn't ask was "Were there A1's or only Super A1's?" I knew an AI has a square front axel rather than a round one and a footfeet and had heard of an A1, but hadn't seen one or know the difference between them. If the owner is correct, the Super A1 has the 123 engine and a taller hood with about an inch clearance below the gas tank (that's one of the differences between a C and a Super C). So if that's so, then would there be an A1 with the 113 engine or are all A1's Supers? Great show and well done with the logistics.
