A gas tank fit a super c?

I am trying to find out what parts are interchangable from a Model A to a Super C. I have a complete A and I just bought a Super C that is missing a bunch of parts. So far it looks like the starter,front grill, magneto, exhaust manifold(carb) gaskets and such are compatible but, it would be nice if someone had a cross reference chart that showed the swapable parts. I know I may need a different bracket to mount the gas tank because the Hydraulics are in the way to mount the original bracket but maybe you guys could shed some light..
Thank You

The A grille, and and tank will probably not fit unless you do some modifications. The Super C radiator is taller thus grille is also taller. Tank mount also has to stand taller to align with the taller grille. Also Super C had a distributor not a mag, but I suppose you could use the mag.

Is it a mount that can be replaced, or is it welded to the bottom of the tank?

Not much is interchangeable.

The gas tank is different. Super C has different mountings underneath to acomodate both the taller radiator and the Touch Control hydraulics.

The grill is different. Super C grill is taller and different at the bottom too.

The A starter is different if it is original.

The manifold gaskets should work.

It's welded. Can be replaced obviously, with all the usual and unique cautions about welding around a gas tank.

I don't have an exact measurement, but the difference in height is a matter of two inches and change.

More importantly, the tanks on the two tractors mount up differently. On the A, there are two ribs that run most of the length of the tank, that bolt up to two brackets, one tall one that rises up from the torque tube just ahead of the post for the steering wheel, and a shorter one that bolts to the rear of the crankcase.

On the SuperC, the brackets are all on the tank. Two long ears at the rear that drop straight down from the tank and bolt to either side of the hydraulic head, and a large flange/panel welded to the front face of the tank that drops down to bolt up to the crankcase.

Entirely different setups. If you're equipped to fabricate, you might get away with it. Though when I look in the book, they list a 10 gal. capacity for the main tank on an A, and 11 gal for the SuperC, so you could wind up with some dimensional problems tryin' to fit the rear of a SuperC hood up to the front of a tank off of an A. Do you have the old tank to compare/measure up?

The most important difference might be the outlet on the bottom. The A outlet is farther back and will run into the newer tractor's Touch Control system.
