They completely redesigned the axle and steering mechanism. The steering setup is similar to the W series, using a Ross Steering gear. The front bolster is a steel frabricated piece and the front axle is maybe a 2 inch by 3 inch steel bar. The original A spinkles were cut of and re welded to the steel bar axle. The seat is mounted over the transmission gear shifter, and thus there is a linkage for the shifter to move the shift lever forward. The drawbar is attached to a heavy steel frame that surrounds the torque tube and the transmission housing. Final drives are rotated forward to lower the profile of the tractor. Bolting is not semetrical, so an adapter plate is required to rotate the final drives. When final drives are rotated, the brake rods point up, so new linkage required. Only one brake pedal for both sides with hand levers for individual braking if desired. Levers not very useful, as you don't have enough hands to work everything. Original mules had only a foot throttle. Many have been converted to have a hand throttle as well. Converting an A could be done, but it would be a major project.
