Well I bought my '53 Super A off a farm that does mostly horse logging. As the battery was dead and it had been sitting a while the former owner offered me a tow. He got out his team (Belgians, very nice horses), and we had the tractor out of that barn so fast (it has a full set of wheel weights not to mention the snowbank in front of the door) my face just about ended up in the steering wheel. We towed the Super A down to road where I put it in gear (3rd) and we started off up the hill, I let out the clutch (the clutch on it is pretty grabby but I've learned how to use it now) and both wheels locked up and the engine started to spin (spewed a whole load of gas and crud out onto me, never did get that jacket clean again). We got her going by the top of the hill and the horses never even slowed down. SAm in NS
