OK, lets see if I can clear this up. First off, although it isn't obvious from 30 feet away, the A and Super A have SUBSTANTIAL, FUNDAMENTAL differences.
1) The Super A has an integrated hydraulic system, known as the Touch-Control system.
2) The Super A has a quick-attach implement mounting system that mainly affects the drawbar and anything attached where the drawbar mounts. It also has heavy fenders that support a multi-use rear rockshaft.
The cultivators were almost completely redisigned from the A to Super A to work with and take advantage of the changes to the tractor.
Anyone that tries to mount an A cultivator on a Super A will have one of 3 possible outcomes.
1) He quickly runs into problems due to the differences in the tractors and give up. This result represents knowing one's limitations.
2) He recognizes the problems. He realizes that it is not possible to "find the parts for use with hydraulics" as those parts do not exist. Knowing how BOTH styles of cultivators were designed to work, he applies his skills as a fabricator to make/modify parts to make the hydraulics work acceptably with the cultivator. He modifies the rear mount bearings to fit the quick-attach drawbar studs. He has a whole pile of left-over A hand lift parts that don't fit on a Super A. This result represents the skills of a good fabricator.
3) Equipped with little skill and a welder, he none-the-less cobbles something together that half-%## works. Most others keep a good distance from this sort of creation. This result represents what I have seen from nearly every attempt at oucome number 2.
You have been given responses to your original question that address each of the 3 possible outcomes. Does this eliminate some of the confusion?

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
