Big: A couple of thoughts: This setup works well, but there's a couple of considerations. First, an A does not have live PTO, nor does it have a hydraulic lift system. Some people use an exhaust lift (an "air" operated system that hooks onto the exhaust) to raise the mower, while others use some sort of manual lift--usually spring-assisted. The A's horsepower (roughly 18) is sufficient to run a 5' mower, and in fact many people (myself included) run a 5' mower on a Farmall Cub, which is a size smaller (around 10 hp.). Another possibility is to look for a Super A, which has a couple more horsepower as well as a hydraulic lift. The A and Super A have a 4-speed forward transmission, with the 4th gear being a "road gear" giving a top speed of around 12 MPH. The Cub has a 3-speed forward transmission, with no "road gear". All have 1 reverse gear. Any of the above make nice mowing tractors, but the hydraulics of the Cub and Super A definitely make them more user-friendly.

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
