John826diesel said: (quoted from post at 19:45:06 02/04/11) F-20 is a more collectible,and nicer built tractor than a john deere A. The A was a poor excuse to compete with an M farmall,with its clumsy hand clutch,and dangerously fast reverse.The A didnt put out as much power as an M,the M was closer to the G in power ratings

Only place the "clumsy hand clutch" was a serious problem would be with a loader, and I never used a loader on either. I pulled a baler with an older '40 A when I was 10 years old and Dad would back the clutch off so I could just barely operate it.... never would have been able to do that with an F-20 or M,... was too small to reach a foot clutch at the time, and probably not enough lead in my rear to push it down if I could. Late A would just as easily handle the same size implements as a "factory" M. When I was 11, Dad bought a JD 60 and I was in hog heaven with the longer clutch lever.

I had 2 uncles with late As so got to run them when I was HS age.
