Matt: Sorry, using classic view, I was unsure who you were responding to.
Have said that there were 3 different gear drive reductions for the Super A through 140. All of them worked very well. You wouldn't need to worry to much about the offsets, with 24" tires they could never get enough traction to do damage. Believe me, I've owned 3 Super A, 2 130 and a 140 over the past 50 years. I've done a lot of heavy work with them far beyond what IH engineers ever expected.
Rarely have deep reduction gears ever been designed for pulling more load, They were designed to give slow precission speeds around vegetable and nusery crops, primarily transplanting. Had to be a slow enough speed so the hand of man could keep up with the plant picker. Most manufacturers would have given warnings about misuse.
Take for example the mighty 1066 and 1466, when equipped with duals, the manual advised not to use the 3 lowest gears for maximum drawbar pull. It was fine to use then for going slow.
