As Tim said, the A has enough power to run the Woods 5 ft belly mower. Better though to get a Super A, or a 100 series, as they have the hydraulics to do the lifting. None of these have live PTO, but you don't really need it for the belly mower. I used one for about 20 years, first on a Super A and then a 140 (same mower). If you have much hills, you will need to set the wheels out as far as you can and still be inside the mower cutting width. There are three working speeds in the transmission plus the road gear. Most of the time you will mow in 2nd gear. If going up a very steep hill the engine has to pull the tractor as well as the mower, so you may end up in low gear there. Also, the brakes on these tractors are not real good. If in good repair they hold very well going forward, but not as good in reverse. However, they tend to leak transmission grease onto the bands, especially on the left side, so make sure you check out the brakes. Quite a chore to repair them, as you have to remove the final drives from the transmission to get to the brakes. Bottom line is quite a good mowing setup, but recommended mostly for those who have some mechanical ability to repair and adjust.
