Ad in state sale paper: '39 FA A, w/cult, exhaust lift... What is an exhaust lift?

KEH
 
A lifting system, from pre-hydraulic time, that used the exhaust directed into a cylinder to lift the implement. Parts are hard to come by though, or so I hear anyway.
 
Also was slow, inefficient, burned engine valves, always leaking somewhere. Generally an extremely poor piece of engineering.
 
I have one setting in the barn off dad's AV, a large clumsy waste of space in my opinion. Fairly complex with the cable, pulleys, cylinder and manifold valve, good at pinching fingers when we took it off. Probably ought to see if someone would need it for parts, get it out of my way.

Thanks for pics. Looks like a Rube Goldberg device. That A looks taller than usual.

KEH
 

It has the Industrial-type squared front axle and the rear tires are using thinner wheel weights off another model. The OEM weights for an A were fatter and tapered, made the tractor look squatter.

That's not an AV, it's a regular A. Optical illusion IMHO.
 
It's an AV. 36" rear tires and 4.00x19 fronts. They were dime a dozen around here back in the vegetable farming days. Most spent their lives cultivating and sidedressing. Cultivators stayed on permanently. The wheel weights are standard for Hs and Ms.
