Congrats on your 140. I used a Super A and later a 140 with a Woods L59 mower for 18 years to mow my 5 acres. I sold the place about 5 years ago and the tractor with it. Used the same mower all that time, but changed tractors when I had a chance to get the newer more powerful 140. I think the 140 will easily handle the 6 ft mower in regular lawn mowing service. If you are talking about knee high grass, maybe not so good, but it will do a lot. I used the L59 to "bush hog" my garden in the fall. I did my neighbor's once and he was amazed how fast I did it. On mine, I had the wheels turned in, but the rims set out to max distance. With the L59, that means you run over a little uncut grass, but it never caused any problem. It's not enough that you even will notice. I highly recommend setting the wheels like that for the extra stability if you have any slopes. Also, solution in the tires is a good idea, because that lowers the center of gravity, also helping the stability. If you have much to trim around, and are mowing less than 5 acres, I'd go with the L59. Hope this helps and good luck. You will enjoy the 140.

Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
