Larry: The price doesn't surprise me, and I'm confident you made the right choice. Mild steel just wouldn't cut it. I had some U bolts made up at a truck spring shop just last month, and judging by your price at CaseIH, I doubt if your saving at a spring shop would be great. I wouldn't take the advice of not having the U bolt on there, that guy is in for a rude awakening one of these days. Running tractors these days is an expensive business. I've watched guys buy an older tractors, and everytime something breaks it's cobbleup, then it's one cobbleup after another, finally after about 10 years of cobbleup,they give up and have nothing but a pile of scrap metal. Then they go out and buy another tractor, costing them twice as much as if they had kept the first one in good shape. Keep your Super A in good shape, it will out last you, even if your only 20. I have 3 of these little tractors, none of them show tractors, but they are in excellent mechanical condition. None of the 3 men who bought them new are alive today. I expect my grandson will use them and he's only 7 weeks old. I'm am confident enough next week I'm going out for hire doing some custom work, edged out a guy with a relatively new 25 hp Deere, not because I'm doing it for less money, the customer is confident I have the ability and equipment to do the best job.

One of the old timers that would sit with Dad and chew the fat about the 'good ole days' was Joe Capalco. Joe wasn't like most of my Dad's friends. He rarely worked that we knew of. Always had plenty of time
