All Farmall A tractors have a poor design problem with the steering. The vertical shaft in the steering box has a square end that the steering arm clamps to.The steering arm is the piece that sticks out the front of the tractor and the tie rod ends attach to that. There are two types of tie rod ends, automotive style, and the earlier ball and socket style. A Farmall A probably has the ball and socket. International once made a kit to change from the square end shaft to the tapered end shaft used on some super A and the 100 and newer tractors of the style.On the Super A in the picture,I changed the shaft and the steering arm to the tapered shaft which eliminates all the slop on that part of the steering, Inside the steering box is a sector gear with a key. The key and sometimes the keyway wears and adds more slop to the steering. There are also bearings that wear, lots of things in there to wear. I also fixed an A with the square shaft by putting shims between the shaft and the steering arm, it was still working fine when I sold the tractor. Check the parts listing at to see what the inside of that steering box looks like. With an acre and a half, I would get the A and add the Woods Mower to it The lack of Independent PTO won't matter after you get underway, but you will have to be careful when stopping, because the inertia in the blades tend to push the tractor after you push in the clutch. If you get the tractor the steering and the brakes will be the things to look at, BOTH are repairable.
