I have an AW 300 Pacer. The 'Super' is a pacer with the extra set of rear wheels. Years of prod are about 1958 to 1969 when AW began economic trouble. Engines for all Pacer were a DD 3-71 or 4-71 as an option, all Supers had a 4-71.
Very early Pacer has a T bone steering system with hyd rams to go left and right. Rear steering up to 26deg was handled with a hyd lever in or near the center of the stack. I think the steering was changed to a wheel and rack around 61 or 62, I have the T bone hyd and mine is a 1961. The 3-71 is not really enough power to move much dirt around, so a lot of Pacer incl mine have the 4-71. It it's a Cummins, that is a branded AW but sold by Clark, I think they had a bunch of the frames made up and just sold the newer units branded AW but with the Cummins eng. Don't quote on that though.
Buy a good set of ear muffs if you have a DD 4-71 and wear them all the time or your ears will ring for hours after grading.
Edit; I just found this video of a 58 with T bone steer, and DD 4-71, very similar to what I have. I don't think many 3-71s were sold, just too underpowered for the big blade, and also the std ripper.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. 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
