Don: I have my doubts if your going to find used sheet metal for a Super A. Just too many of them around with poor sheet metal. You might be lucky, but 9 times out of 10 it will require a lot of chasing around the country. I know the new after market product seems expensive, but once you factor in looking and driving to find used, it wont seem so bad. I've had 6 of these tractor in the past 50 years. If I count the miles I've driven in the past 20 years looking for parts for these, the driving has been my single biggest expence. This is why I say my current SA, 130 and 140 plus 20 implements or attachments are worth $45,000. Actually a $45,000. investment. I call it live and never learn, for example I've spent 8 months looking for used distributor drive gears. Based on what I've seen, I'm going to CaseIH this week and pay $165. for new gears. Maybe if I put enough new parts on the value will catch up with what I have invested.
