As goofy looking as a cultivision farmall A and
Cub were, almost everyone made a competing
model such as this Oliver 440.
I believe Ford and M-M made similar models
correct?

I will ad that my first tractor at age 13 was a super A.
 
Not sure about M-M making an offset tractor but Ford did as well as much later Both JD and Kubota making an offset tractor . Also possibly BF Avery, which was bought out by MM.
 
I said goofy but I did NOT say impractical.

I ran mine hard for almost ten years before selling it to help pay for tech school. One thing I never did with it was cultivate. But it was great for plowing wet spots and garden plots with its offset weight. It also had a aftermarket 3 point which was great with the live hydraulics. Made it even better to work gardens and other odd jobs with most 3 point equipment. It was even nice to run the brush hog with cause I would mow the first round clockwise to keep myself further from limbs and blackberries, then mow rest if field counterclockwise. Also with the high clearance of the super A, the material was not so mashed down as with to 30 and seemed to mow better.

There was also a stationary cleaning fan and couple other pto driven machines that really liked the high pto shaft and ran quieter.

And of course when running the buzz saw, any short flat belt off combine or baler will work fine
 
I believe that MM BG was originally an Avery tractor model , so I guess both Avery and MM did make an offset tractor. Thank you for posting the picture.
 
Kinda looks like the design team had it all built when someone noticed they didn't have a stearing sector. Where we going to mount it? Put it on top the axle right in the middle. But the
grille won't fit then. Hand me that tin snips.
 
That is what I read also yes. Sounded like the M-M had a slightly larger engine but was basically carryover from Avery.

Apparently the Kubota model is L245H

And Ford made a 541 and a 2000
