Evan, You"re a wise man beyond your years. YOu figured out the proper way to mount a 140, 130, SA1, SA, and A at first glance. It is quite a simple process to place your left foot on the drawbar, grab the steering wheel with your right hand while planting your right foor firmly on the right rear tire while grabbing the left side of the seat with your left hand and then gracefully sliding your left leg between your right armpit and right leg onto the operators platform, then, providing you didnt trip the seat causing it to flip backward, scoot your butt onto the seat and follow that up with bringing your right leg aboard. Its is a simple process, that is, until you hit that 60 year old mark, arthritis sets in, and you"ve gained that 80 extra lbs. Then you begin to ask why IH didnt make it easier to mount one of these offset tractors. Lots of owners have built their own front mount step which may or may not be easier. I"m 65, and still mount my 1940 A the old fashioned way, just a little slower.
