Dale: I don't think you should turn down Reddog's offer, even though your tractor is an A you may well have a SA plow. Reddog has some photos that could help you very much as the only difference in those plows is the lift mechanism. One of the biggest problems buying both A and SA implements, is making sure you have it all. This being due to the fact most implements are removed from the tractor in several pieces. Those small items get hung on a barn wall, and folks clearing out a deceased person's estate often don't know what belongs with what.

In my lifetime I bought a lot of these implements, one almost has to know every part of the implement or take along a parts book to be sure you have it all. I've had guys give me part of dad's mower when buying a plow, I've also bought implements with parts missing. I can tell you, the implement with something missing is not worth much.

Just an example, I have the whole lower half of a 1 point fast hitch, bought it 17 years ago for $20., thinking I'd find the rear rock shaft. Haven't yet, I could fabricate. I had a guy want to sell me another hitch with same parts missing. He was keeping the rock shaft for a 3 point kit, and was very insulted when I offered him $20. He told me $400. as it was 80% of the hitch. I reminded him 80% of the hitch not quite the same as 80% of $500.
