First-time tractor buyer (and first-time small-farm vegetable farmer). I just bought a '53 Super A, serial #351687-RP. Does anyone know what the RP stands for? Also, it doesn't have a hitch or draw bar, and I'd like to get something to hitch me up to implements that'll mow down my cover crops, bale them (slowly, I'm sure), and disk. Do I need a 3 pt for this, or are there alternatives? (Will an SA even take a 3 pt?)
Thanks much,
Bill

Bill,

The belly mount sickle bar mower for a SA is a model A-22.

Hope this helps.

The R means it has a TA, the P means it does not have a TA. Since the TA was not available on the Super A, my suggestion is to look at those letters again.

Yes, you're right, of course, I just looked again and rubbed the dirt off: it's actually R3. Do you know what that means?
Thanks,
Bill

That is the part number of whatever part you took it off of. It is a CAST IN number. You need to find a STAMPED IN number on a metal tag. If present, it will be riveted to the left seat support.

I'm not sure about the RP in the serial #...

The Super A has a draw bar, and the first place that comes to my mind to find one would be OEM Tractor Parts, or you could look for a used one.

Like I posted below you can get mowers that were built to fit your Super A that either completely mounted on the tractor, or ones that were semi mounts and trailed behind. The fully mounted type were either belly type, or mounted at the rear of the tractor. I wish I could come up with some model numbers for you but I'm blanking at the moment, and all I have at hand is the 16-A, but that's for a regular non-super A (hand lift). If I were you I would look for a belly type since you can see what's going on and wont have a stiff neck at the end of the day!

Pretty much every thing you listed doesn't requires a 3 point hitch, but a bailer would be a bit much for a SA horse power wise (not to mention the lack of a live PTO, and the fact that a bailer is a pretty big piece of equipment if you have a lot of hills), we had a 14T with a it's own Wisconsin engine that did the trick.
