Peter: I can understand falling for the Super A. I have owned 6 of these tractors in the past 45 years. 3- Super A, 2- 130 and a 140. Basically the same tractor, just the numbered ones are newer models. Yes you can hand crank them very easily. PTO and belt pulley gear box are supplied by an impeller called slinger, whch forces oil from transmission to that gear box. There is an overflow for excess to run back to transmission. Two of the first items you should look at are oil level in fan hub, and lubrication within the distributor drive. People tend to forget those two and they can get a bit costly. The transmission should stop turning within 5-8 seconds of pushing clutch in. Modern day antifreeze is the way to go. A former Bettle owner shouldn't have too much trouble with those manuals. 90W gear oil yes. Another item I would do is change the oil in the hydraulics, even though you aren't using them. Take the screen out and clean and add new Hytran hydraulic oil from CaseIH. From time to time activate those hydraulic valves. Check the oil level in hydraulic regularly, that resovoir isn't very large and pump lubrication very important. In my hometown most beetle owners that were farmers, farmed with Super A. The two ranked very close when it came to quality. Most of the Super A's have outlasted the Beetles. There are numerous parts supplies for these, just ask on here for particular items. Some sources better than others for different items. Enjoy your tractor and welcome to YT forums.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
