Give me your opinion: For my Super A : Would you buy the 6ft heavy duty (which is like new) or an older L59- 5 ft. $400.00 for the 5ft- L59 and $500.00 for the like new 6ft- L306. Which would you buy for the Super A?(quoted from post at 19:26:47 09/21/16) Not really, but the tractor will have good power. Mowing high, then in a few days mowing at 6" can work. Make sure the blades are sharp, and that the front is 1/2" lower than the rear of the deck to prevent multiple cutting of the same stem. Jim
(quoted from post at 12:11:43 09/21/16) Good Afternoon, Does anyone know if a Woods L306 Belly Mower will work on Super A Farmall? I found one at a good deal but want to make sure the Super A will pull it. The L306 is a 6ft heavy duty belly mower.
Thanks!
Mr. Bender, How is the best way to get that postage to you?(quoted from post at 00:28:48 09/22/16) Yes just remember it is a finish mower made for lawns not for mowing pastures 2ft high. You can get belts from NAPA. Did you get the mounts for the SA and it will run off the belt pulley shaft should have the pulley also. I would get a manual from Woods it help in setting one up getting front blades lower in the front so you arent mowing same grass 2 times befor it discharges i have a new belt you can have if you want to pay the postage as i will never need it.I use the 59 on a B and the belt for the SA is shorter.
(quoted from post at 19:25:34 09/21/16) Okay. Since the L306 has a left discharge too like the L59, I guess the bolts have left hand thread too.
Thanks.
What is a good place to look for these rough cut blades?(quoted from post at 15:09:04 09/22/16)(quoted from post at 19:25:34 09/21/16) Okay. Since the L306 has a left discharge too like the L59, I guess the bolts have left hand thread too.
Thanks.
Yes. The bolts that hold the blades are left hand thread. Easiest way I have found to remove those bolts is with an impact wrench.
For what it's worth, there are "rough cutting" blades that replace the "finish mower" blades. If you will be cutting tall weeds and pasture grass all the time, you might want to
consider those rough cutting blades.

(quoted from post at 08:53:47 09/22/16) Gene,
Are there provisions on the blade spindles for lubrication as I can't find any zerks on my L306 I use with a Farmall 140 or do they have some type of lifetime lube method - thanks for sharing your knowledge, Ha.

Yeah.. your are right Old. I do have a Bush Hog Squealer on my John Deere tractor. I just wanted a mower for the Super A. The offset PTO makes the Bush Hog drive shaft run in an awkward position. But is will work. Belly mowers just make a neater cutting package in my opinion and maybe cut in a tighter spot.(quoted from post at 19:00:43 09/21/16) Well if it is a finish mower it is in fact made to cut lawns not a big field. For that you need a brush hog type machine or sickle bar mower
Thanks Farmallhal! Yeah the 140 has more HP than the Super A.(quoted from post at 20:15:00 09/22/16) Gene, thanks and they were very easily found once knowing where to look. I guess I was thinking they would be where they were very visible and didn't want to have to crawl under the mower if it wasn't necessary. I gave each zerk 7 or 8 shots not knowing how much they could handle without blowing past any seals. Thanks again for the information on their locations, Hal.
P.S. Back to the original reason for this thread, my Farmall 140 handles the 306L fine even in some fairly heavy tough field grasses but I don't know the horsepower difference between a Super A and 140 but doubt it is very much. I usually find 1st gear and full throttle best for my use cutting field grasses.
(quoted from post at 00:34:39 09/23/16) Those HP ratings are way too low original A had that much. SA will have around 22 cause the 113 with 3 1/8 kit
making it 123 cu in
(quoted from post at 16:01:14 09/23/16) That was one thought and I think with that and the moving the front wheels in to narrow them up a bit it may work if I have an antiscalp roller in the middle. The wheels are already as wide as they can go with the deck wheels mid mounted and it causes problems. I think I have larger than normal front wheels on this super a think they are 6x16s.
Or I had though about possibly hanging the deck from the axle like on a regular mower.
