Gene37: You didn't say whether you just wanted to bring your A up to SA horsepower specs or are you wanting to convert the engine to work in a SA? There is a difference, most of this has been covered by Dave, Jim and Charles. If you are just trying to bring your A up to SA hp specs., I wouldn't put a whole lot of money into this project. I have used all these offsets in my time, and could never see a whole lot of difference in power between A, SA, 100, 130 and 140. I know the IH specs and Nebraska tests will tell you there is a difference, but how great and can you pick it out from the seat working the tractor. Currently I have a SA, 130 and 140. SA has C-113 engine and others have C-123. All have factory original piston and sleeve kits. I have a 17 shank S-tine field cultivator, if you allow that cultivator to drop without control, it will stop anyone of these tractors dead in it's tracks. Not sure it wouldn't stop an H. I must use depth control with this cultivator. My Super A will lug this cultivator all day just as fast as 130 or 140. I can see very little difference, no matter which tractor I use. I can tell you 130 is down a bit on compression, but SA and 140 are right up there. If I were to give the edge to any of the three it would go to 130. Believe me it would be a hard call.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
