Don, The Farmall A design, other than increased horse power only made one major significant change, that being the addition of the touch control hydraulic system from the A beginning in 1939-1947, Super A from 1947-1954, 100 from 1954-1956, 130 from 1956-1958, and 140 from 1958-1975. That was a total of 37 years of the same basic design. It is also true that the John Deere D changed much more during its production run, but a long run nevertheless. My personal opinion and the opinion of many others is that the Farmall A and its successors was one of the most perfectly engineered tractors, not only in its own time, but for all time. The design really never did bcome obsolete, as nothing has satisfactorly replaced it. Its value in garden crops and tobacco fields is unprecedented.
