Bob: Personally I'd never change a Super A to tires larger than 9.5x24. The C-113 just doesn't have the power to handle more rubber. You could change your engine too 3-1/8" bore sleeves and pistons, but you still have early transmission, rear end and final drive gears. Post 1952 offset tractors had improved case hardened gears.

I don't quite understand this advice commonly given today, "do it because it's popular". I'm more inclined to stick with scientific engineering. The C-123 engine was held back from being put in Super A until 1954 for a number of reasons, most of them being upgrades from the clutch back. Not all Super A were created equal, in the 40 year production of that offset tractor, more upgrades occured during Super A production than at any model change between A, SA, 100, 130 and 140.
