The drain for the A was on the underside of the lower inlet to the motor (the cst piece the lower hose fits to). It was made for 3/8" pipe thread goods. The original plug had what I call Mickey Mouse ears on it, rather like a wing nut. You could replace it with a standard square-head 3/8" NPT pipe plug (a common hardware item) or try around salvage outfits like Bates to see if you can run down an original.
Something like this came up over on Tractor Talk earlier today and I got looking through the parts books. They're of diffrent editions so I don't know if the differences were strictly between models or between years. In my books anyway, Bs and Cs ran a 3/8" pipe nipple from the bottom of the inlet down through a hole in the front casting with a cap instead of a plug (same mouse ears ont he cap) so that it drained directly to the ground. I don't have a tractor with just the plug but can say that I think the nipple and cap, if you could do it, would be a lot easier to get to. You may want to scout that out and consider it as long as you're looking at an open hole.
