Mark: My creeper gear ideas never got beyond musing stage on a cold winter day. Why, you might ask, plain and simple you'd soon gobble up $1,500. and find yourself the full backer of the warrenty.
Tune up that tractor a bit so it will idle well, you'll have no problem cultivating around small plants. I run 12.4x24 on my 140 and have no problem, never did.
I might add, other than potatoes, I use my cultivators very little, at least not in the year it is planted to vegetables. My garden vegetables, other than potatoes are notill. I tilled it all up last fall, early enough so frost got and weeds that sprouted, and after 3 crops of buckwheat the weeds were damn few.
My garden area is divided into 3 sections, this years garden, last years garden and next years garden. Next years garden will be planted to 3 crops of plow down buckwheat during this summer. That crowds out just about every weed, known to man. Last years garden will be used as a place to disk in vegetable waste and other compostables all summer. Since this years garden was in buckwheat all last summer, was all tilled level last fall, I will drill in or transplant my plants and seeds. That area will not be touched with a cultivator or any other tillage tool this summer. It's close to 1/3 of an acre and I will probably do all hand weeding in less than 10 hours spread out over 3 months. After that plow down buckwheat last year, my yields will be well above average.

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. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. 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.
