Its a 92 LT1 6-speed With 22,991 miles.
I just picked up this past spring. (22,443 miles)
Was sitting 15 yrs, still had the original tires on it.

Also is the A the farmall cub? I like those tractors, been wanting to get one someday
Cool!
No, the Cub was similar, but smaller. Both were offset to the left, so you were basically looking straight down to the rows for cultivating.

Nice looking tractor. It brings back memories, when I was growing up we had a Farmall H and a Farmall M.

I've spent many hours on Cub, a yellow version, mowing grass with a 5' belly mower. Starting out with the PTO engaged was accomplished with much patience and a deft touch with the clutch.

Ya, antique tractors are cool, regardless of what color. Almost bought a couple others over the years, but they take up a lot of space. That one was in a few parades pulling my single axle trailer with my family, and dog, riding in it in lawn chairs.
I sold it to a guy that appreciated the age of it as much as I did. Swore to me it would always be undercover and never worked for anything but enjoyment.
I'm like that with olde stuff.

used to go to Buckley steam engine show every year growing up. My uncle's dad owned an old steam engine (can't remember the make), but i remember stoking the fire, and watching him take a turn too sharp and running over an empty 55 gallon steel can and flatten it without even feeling it lol

Haha,I'll bet. A few of the Amish guys around here has the steam engines. Been to their houses many times looking at them. Dam, those things are monsters. I'm also a former stationary engineer for better than 30 years, and had to study steam engines. If they were so good though, we wouldn't have turbines!!!

I'm working on a plow truck that the blade keeps blowing fuses...
Found a diode in the controller that was bad.
So a drive down to Abel Electronics, and they hooked me up!
Made a new diode harness and back in working order.
Getting ready to head out again.... grocery shopping for my Aunt and then dinner.
