Kids have made fantastic progress with the Super A.
Said I'd post a picture, so here it is as it stands now.
It's not 100% yet - we've got some touch up work to do - still need to add a few parts, paint the steering wheel center, the generator, get a breather cap, etc.
But we got the carb issues worked out - timing is perfect - engine starts easily, runs perfectly.

A HUGE thanks to everybody here - your help was invaluable.
Unfortunately my son Chris's lung collapsed again earlier today while he was just sitting in class.
So we're back in the hospital now -this time t hey need to do deeper surgery - scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.
He'll be ok, but he's scared. I'm with him as I type, but he's out from all the heavy drugs.
I'm pretty certain this will keep us out of the parade this weekend.

All the kids put in a good effort, but my son obviously had much more access to the tractor, and really put a LOT of time and effort into it.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
