Kids have made fantastic progress with the Super A.
Said I'd post a picture, so here it is as it stands now.
It's not 100% yet - we've got some touch up work to do - still need to add a few parts, paint the steering wheel center, the generator, get a breather cap, etc.

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
