Jim: It's probably quite true that most applications for a creeper gear in these tractors, the pto was a non issue. Most folks in my area used the Hydra Creeper drive and most of that was for transplanting.
Size of operations soon made the need for creepers in a offset Farmall obselete. Many of those same farms still have their SA, 100, 130 or 140 and it's mainly cultivating duty only. Most soon went for larger tractors on multi row trans planters and harvesters.

Increasing the hill size gives me a lot higher percentage of those long oval potatoes. Sized those do command a premiun price. This is not big volume, thus another tractor is not and option. I'd like to use a transplanter unit for dropping my seed but most of all I need a slower gear for my 1 row PTO digger.
