I used to collect John Deere. Only tractor now is Oliver 1550. Have renewed interest in old stuff again and am intrested in a small red tractor. I am looking at a 1948 Farmall Cub but today came across a Model A Farmall, yellow paint (industrial?). It apparently has a factory street sweeper attachment. Chain driven from rear PTO to underslung drive shaft running to front of tractor. Then differential and a set of short drive lines that operate a diagonal sweeper/rotary broom. Small town here used it to sweep snow from sidewalks. I know nothing about an A. Appears they were built until the Cub came out. Then Tractordata doesn't list them any more, just newer models. I see 3 hp more with the A. Lots of similarities between Cub and A's. I could use something to partly restore and use in our windbreak and for jobs requiring a smaller tractor. Mostly harrow/drag cultivator...whatever else I can think of. What are advantages/disadvantages of Cubs vs Model A's??? I know there is somewhat of a cult following for Cubs and I admit I like them a lot too. (or, have one of each !) I have a photo of this A if I knew where/how to send it for someone to evaluate. Thanks,
Dennis
