I also have a 1953 Farmall Super A that still has the original unopened engine. It was my grandfathers primary tobacco and hay tractor for 40 years. He plowed, disced, set tobacco, cultivated, and cut all of his hay with it every year. He raised 15 acres of tobacco, 20 acres or so of hay and always had 10 or so horses.
