Dave: I think you are looking at a completely different tractor from the one being discussed in this thread. All tractors produced in Australia during that era used the letter A as the first letter in the model designation, thus your tractor was called the Super AW6, in Britain it would have been called a Super BW6 and here in North America just Super W6. All these would have been basically the same tractor, although some components would have been manufactured in the country indicated in title. Your tractor was in its day the second largest tractor IH built, whereas what we in North America call a Super A was second from the smallest.

The letter series in North America were as follows from smallest to largest Farmalls Cub, A, B or C, H and M and standards were W4, W6 and W9. H and M shared a lot of components with W4 and W6. I don't think all models were produced in Britain or Australia, but any that were had either A or B at beginning of model designation. The C replaced the B in 1947. All tractors except the B became Supers before production ended.

I am not going any further with this, as I am not sure on specific models. If you post a question on here for Guy Fay, he knows a whole lot more on this subject than I. I just wanted to alert you to the facts on the differences. I sincerely hope you persue this, as I for one like to know the history of these old tractors and what was produced where. Model changes were also made at very different dates in different countries.
