Super A Models

Hi. New to this, have done many things, always wanted to do this every time fair season rolls around. Just got a pretty beat up 1951 Super A. What is the difference between Super A, AV, A1, AV1, Cultivision, ect. I have been reading as much as I can, but am looking for some pointers. Whats a good resource? Is there an easy way to explain? Thanks

Super A is a Super A. AV is a high crop (vegetable) version of the manual lift A tractor, SAV is the hydraulic lift version, A1 wasn't built, SA1 is the transtition between the Super A and the 100. It has the taller radiator, water pump and a taller grille to accomidate for those parts. SAV1 (if it was built) is the combo of the above. Cultivision is simply the marketing name of the offset design of the Farmall A, B, Super A, 100, 130, 140, and Cub tractors.

Anything else??

Wow, thanks. I have ordered a set of manuals, hoping they will have info like that. My tractor is definately off set, the extremely faded decal seems to read Super A Culti-Vision, but I had no idea about the other model numbers. Can I figure out what model it is by numbers? Or how it's equiped? It has two hydraulic levers side by side, and a throttle lever. I appriciate the response and will probably be asking more questions over the coming months. My only goal now is to get the grease and grime washed off and get it in the garage before the weather turns cold. Thanks again

I've got around 39 of the Cultivision Farmall tractors. Where are you located? Maybe you could come by and see/learn more about your tractor. If your tractor has hydraulics, it is a Farmall Super A. I've seen SOME decals say cultivision on them, but not sure about originality. Most the non-hydraulic "A" tractors have the Cultivision decal. Or shall I say that one is more common aftermarket. If your tractor has a water pump, it is LIKELY a Super A1, although the water pump can be added to any of the super A tractors.

If you need anything else or have any questions, I'd be happy to help. You may email me at [email protected] or call me at 205-368-5339 (weekends only).

Your decal (if accurate) indicates a Super A (earlier one) as described by RTR. Nearly all the rest of your description would be the same for any Super A through 140.

As a Super A, the serial plate should be riveted to the right side of the left seat support bracket. It should have a serial number FAA xxxxxx where the xxxxxx is a number above 250,000.

Forgot to mention that the serial number will help alot with determining if it is a true Super A1. Checking the casting codes will also help. If you need any pictures of ANYTHING, I should have good examples to send you. You can email me anytime, or call me on the weekends. Hope it helps.

I have a 48 that has the original round "super A cultivision: stickers with the red (clear) background, so I know they were using them in 48. But I THOUGHT they stopped them in 49, but not sure.

The newer super a stickers are the all white in the round area, with only the words "super A".

There is no difference in the models, making one a "cultivision" and one a "non-cultivision" it was simply a new style of sticker. Nothing changed on the tractor (other than some typical minor changes from year to year models)

Cultivision refers to the offset engine/seat for viewing crops while cultivating. So all models from the A on up through the 100's HAVE cultivision. Whether or not it's on the sticker.

Look under your seat, on the inside of the seat bracket and you can find your serial number. Assuming the seat bracket has never been swapped out, you can find out exactly what year your tractor is from that.

But I'm afraid that is all you'll tell from the serial number.

Any model - a, super a, a1 etc - that have a V just means it's a taller model for higher crops. The easiest way to tell them apart (unless they're sitting aside of eachother) is to look at the rear wheels. On the v version the wheels are skinnier looking and taller. Just do a google image search and you'll see what I mean.

i have a super a1 need all the info i can get can you send me some by email. [email protected]
