||
+ | Introduced in late 1947, the McCormick [[Farmall Super A]] was an upgrade of the [[Farmall A]] with more standard equipment, adding to its weight. The Super A was mechanically identical to the A except for a slightly higher compression ratio that gave it slightly more power. One of the main features of the Super A was the "Touch-Control" hydraulic system. The Super A ushered in a whole range of “Super” tractors for International Harvester. |
||
− | The new McCormick-Deering Farmall letter-series wheel tractors introduced in 1939 included the [[Farmall A]], [[Farmall B]], [[Farmall H]], and [[Farmall M]]. All had beautiful new styling by industrial designer [[Raymond Leowy]] and followed the theme set with the [[International TD-18]] crawler in 1938 and carried through to all International Harvester tractor models through the late 1950s. |
||
+ | == Tractor Comparison == |
||
− | The Farmall A was an all-new offset design. The frame, engine, and drive train were offset to the left and the driver’s seat and controls were offset to the right to give the driver an unobstructed view of the ground and the crop being cultivated. International promoted this as its “Culti-Vision” design. The A was rated to pull a 1-bottom [[plow]] (singe furrow plough -UK) or cultivate one row. The engine was the same size as that of the old [[Farmall F-14|F-14]] (113 ci) but was a revised design that would be in production for many years. Only distillate versions of the engine were built in 1939 and a high-compression gasoline version was added the following year. The A was available with the pneumatic Lift-All attachment, powered by exhaust gases, for lifting implements. The A was branded "McCormick-Deering Farmall" initially but the name was shortened to "McCormick Farmall" in 1946. |
||
+ | During the years the Super A was in production, several other manufacturers made small tractors of similar layout (most without the offset design of the Farmall). As shown in the table, the Allis-Chalmers B, Case VAS, John Deere M, and Massey-Harris Pacer were closest to the Super A in hp, weight, and price. The Super A had the lowest hp in the group so, in 1954, International Harvester brought out the updated Farmall Super A-1 with slightly more power from a larger displacement engine. |
||
+ | {| class="wikitable" |
||
− | The Farmall A was International Harvesters's answer to the [[Allis-Chalmers B]], which entered pilot production in 1937 and full production in 1938. The B was also a small 1-plow tractor and it resembled the Farmall A but lacked the offset design. Although the B sold very well, the Farmall A quickly overtook it. When running on gasoline the Farmall A had slightly more power and it had a 4-speed instead of 3-speed transmission. Allis-Chalmers put a larger engine in the B in 1943, but International Harvester responded in 1947 with an improved [[Farmall Super A]]. |

Introduced in late 1947, the McCormick Farmall Super A was an upgrade of the Farmall A with more standard equipment, adding to its weight. The Super A was mechanically identical to the A except for a slightly higher compression ratio that gave it slightly more power. One of the main features of the Super A was the "Touch-Control" hydraulic system. The Super A ushered in a whole range of “Super” tractors for International Harvester.
Tractor Comparison[edit | edit source]
During the years the Super A was in production, several other manufacturers made small tractors of similar layout (most without the offset design of the Farmall). As shown in the table, the Allis-Chalmers B, Case VAS, John Deere M, and Massey-Harris Pacer were closest to the Super A in hp, weight, and price. The Super A had the lowest hp in the group so, in 1954, International Harvester brought out the updated Farmall Super A-1 with slightly more power from a larger displacement engine.
