Jon: My first reaction is an Industrial A with a very poor looking blacksmith shop hydraulic add on.

You mention port for hydraulics, I suspect you mean place where pump mounts under distributor. I say distributor, it may be mag my screen not making it clear enough. On a Super A also between battery and bell of clutch housing the torque tube is flat on top for mounting the touch control unit. The A is round on top of torque tube. Go to the casting code advice you were given by one of the earlier posters. That will sort it out for you.

Another item on this subject for all, is 50+ years later not all Super A's have touch control anymore. I was at a show two years ago and a guy had a Super A with hydraulic resovoir and dual hydraulic valves from a Farmall 230 mountd in place of the touch control and of course the original pump will work. I'm not sure whether plumbing from pump to valves is same as for touch control or not. He had a very nice looking tractor and with two remote hydraulic valves. I have also seen others where they just disbanded the touch control unit, added a resovoir, bypass, filter, valves, etc. from any hydraulic shop and used the same pump that powered the touch control. Many of the latter looked as shoddy as your hydraulic system.
