(RNN) - Florida State redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston was awarded the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, becoming the youngest winner in the history of the award.
Winston does not turn 20 until Jan. 6, the day the Seminoles take on Auburn in the BCS championship, and became the second consecutive freshman to win the award.
"This Heisman isn't just for Jameis Winston, it's for Florida State. I love everybody in here," he said during his acceptance speech.
He won the award with 668 first-place votes and 2,205 total points, 1,501 ahead of second-place winner AJ McCarron of Alabama. Winston ran away with the award despite 115 voters completely leaving him off their ballots.
Winston was the subject of a sexual assault investigation from an incident that a former female student at FSU said happened last year. The state attorney announced late last week his office would not file charges due to lack of sufficient evidence.
It had been assumed by many that since Winston's legal troubles are in the rear-view mirror, so was the rest of the competition in the Heisman race.
Winston's promise as a star both in football and baseball earned him the nickname "Famous Jameis." He lived up to the hype and then some.
He has passed for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns - more than last year's Heisman winner, Johnny Manziel. No matter how the BCS Championship turns out, it is entirely possible FSU could become the second college team ever (Tulsa, 2007) with three 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000 rusher in the same season.
Florida State played in the first BCS title game, and Winston has helped the Seminoles come full circle by reaching the final championship bowl under the current system.
Below is a synopsis of each of the remaining candidates:
Position: Quarterback
School: Alabama
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 214
Class: Senior
McCarron is largely a lifetime achievement candidate. Not only is his overall body of work better than all other candidates, but it's better than all other candidates in college football history, except Nebraska quarterback Tommie Frazier who finished as the runner-up to Eddie George in 1995.
Like Frazier, McCarron led his team to back-to-back national championships, but fell short of playing for a third with a 34-28 loss to Auburn. McCarron has 2,676 passing yards and 26 touchdowns, both of which are significantly lower than other finalists. However, McCarron has only three losses as a starter in his career, which is fewer losses than fellow finalist and reigning Heisman winner Johnny Manziel had this season. McCarron's average of 223 yards per game, 2.16 touchdowns per game and 67.6 completion percentage are all career-highs.
Position: Running back
School: Boston College
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 227
Only nine players in college football history have rushed for 2,100 yards in a season and Williams is one of them. His 2,102 yards came despite an injury in Boston College's final game that held him to 29 yards and is more than Rashaan Salaam gained in his Heisman Trophy-winning 1994 season. Williams is also 22 yards shy of the mark reached by Ricky Williams when he won the Heisman in 1998.
Williams suffers from a perception problem because the Eagles lost five games this year and he is a bit of a surprise. His 2,102 yards are more than his three previous seasons combined. If he wins, he would be the first running back to win the award since Mark Ingram in 2009 and the second non-quarterback to win since 2000. For what's it worth, Williams has nearly 500 yards more than Ingram did and two more touchdowns, including Ingram's 116 yards and two touchdowns from the BCS championship game that season.
School: Northern Illinois
Weight: 216
Lynch led No. 24 Northern Illinois to a 12-1 record, but the Huskies fell short of winning the MAC and making a second-straight trip to a BCS bowl. He did not play well in the league championship game and his team lost to Bowling Green.
He ran for 1,881 yards this season and threw for 2,676, accounting for 46 touchdowns. He ran for 22 scores, passed for 24 and caught one TD pass. He ranks fourth nationally in total offense and points responsible for (276). Only four other players in NCAA history have run for 20 and passed for 20 touchdowns.
School: Auburn
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 205
Class: Junior
Tre Mason propelled himself into the Heisman picture with two colossal performances on national TV to end the season. He paced Auburn's offense with 164 yards rushing in the electrifying upset of then-No.1 ranked Alabama. He gained a championship game record 304 yards in the Tigers' 59-42 win over Missouri.
He led the SEC in rushing with 1,621 yards and 22 touchdowns, perfectly fitting into coach Gus Malzahn's tricky read option offense. He's the main reason that Auburn is playing for the BCS National Championship.
School: Texas A&M
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 210
Class: Sophomore
How is a season in which a quarterback passes for 3,313 yards, rushes for 611 and scores 39 total touchdowns considered a letdown? Only when he ran for 800 more yards, passed for 13 more touchdowns and almost 400 more yards in the previous season. The Aggies' four losses also didn't help Manziel's attempt to join Archie Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winner.
But in a broader perspective, it was a phenomenal season, especially considering a string of injuries both Manziel and his team have downplayed. Hurt or not, there is no question Texas A&M's quarterback carried his team. He was third in the country in total offense, almost a necessity given that his defense was one of the worst in the nation.

DUNCAN, Okla. — President Barack Obama put himself into a tough spot when he threatened action against the Syrian government if it used chemical weapons on its people, said U.S. Rep. Tom Cole.
The Oklahoma Republican is among 140 members of Congress - including 21 Democrats - who signed a letter this week warning the president against delivering on that threat without their consent.
Cole, who is home during Congress' August recess, told a town hall meeting in Duncan on Wednesday that Obama "irresponsibly drew red lines in the sand."
The president, said Cole, seems set on a military response to reports that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad ordered a chemical weapons attack. Cole said that "would be using military means to give him credibility for probably saying something he shouldn't have said."
The Obama administration and British leaders say they have evidence of a gas attack last week that killed hundreds of Syrians, marking an especially heinous escalation of a nearly two-year civil war that's already killed more than 100,000 people.
The United Nations has sent inspectors to Damascus to investigate those reports.
The White House announced Thursday that it will brief Congressional leaders on Syria.
Cole, who represents Oklahoma's 4th District, touched on various other topics during his exchange with about 100 people.
He took an unpopular stance among some in the room when he said he's unwilling to vote to stop all government spending unless the Affordable Care Act is defunded - even though he's voted 40 times to repeal Obamacare.
While some urged a more aggresive position, Cole said he's unwilling to cut money to the military, veterans, National Weather Service and other vital government services to make a political point when Congress returns to session next month.
"I think it would be a political disaster (for Republicans) in 2014," he said.

BOSTON -- Tony Lafuente was only too happy to sacrifice some sleep on Monday morning to get up early and help out the World Series champion Red Sox.
Lafuente's labor of love was to stitch together the latest World Series champions red banner above Gate D at Fenway Park.
"It's an unbelievable thing every year when we decorate the park," Lafuente said. "For us, it's a novelty and a wonderful experience for us to decorate the park."
Lafuente owns and operates Flag Graphics in nearby Somerville, Mass., and he left his office midway through the day on Monday with the important piece of cloth, ready to hang it up himself.
"We came in very early this morning," Lafuente said at 2 p.m. ET, some three hours before the Sox players and staff could see his handywork. "They wanted it up for the players for when they get in, so we made sure that it was up."
Lafuente took down the blue American League championship banner and replaced it with the red one, drawing raves and cheers from the hundreds of fans that had begun to assemble, waiting outside Fenway for the players to return to the ballpark after their flight home from Denver.
"This is unbelievable," said Dave Yates, who came down from Hudson, N.H., with his wife, Susan, and 4-year-old grandson, Calvin Durham. "There was 2004 and I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime, and two times in four years just gives me chills."

What is pastoral counseling and spiritual care?
Loyola University Maryland's master's and doctoral programs in pastoral counseling and spiritual care foster the formation of professional practitioners who are uniquely equipped to facilitate the healing of the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—through the integration of spirituality and psychology.
Whether students are called to the department's diverse tracks in pastoral care, or to its one-of-a-kind CACREP-accredited clinical mental health counseling programs that graduate licensed counselors, researchers, supervisors, and trauma specialists, they join a program that has earned a global reputation as being unique, innovative, and academically stimulating.
Which graduate degree is right for me?
Though the paths—pastoral counseling (M.S., M.S./Ph.D., Ph.D.) and spiritual care (M.A.)—share a fundamental foundation of spirituality, they take their travelers on separate routes. And though the method of travel is the same—human conversations on spiritual matters—the destination for the traveler and their companions will differ
The Pastoral Counseling Department offers five degree programs, each with a unique purpose and professional goal. These programs offer a complete range of graduate degree tracks which serve a variety of professional credentialing goals as well as ongoing formative learning.

I haven't tried this one in years. Totally dig the "Beers of Fame" list which I've enjoyed plowing through.
Served in a Delirium Tremens shaped glass.
A: A whopping 1.5 finger fluffy head on top of a solid orange pumpkin-colored liquid with a slight chill haze. Nice!
S: Much more of the orange side of the spectrum as opposed to a grapefruit one, pretty understated, with some fresh clean linen mixed in to boot.
T: Not a hop bomb by any stretch, but still instantly recognizable as an American IPA. I thought this was going to be much more sugary than what was actually there, but alas, the nice bitter bill cut through that.
M: The carbonation was perfect for this style, the lacing was somewhat ridiculous, and I found myself appreciating the bitter aspect of this one.
O: To my mind, this embodies the "East Coast" IPA better than many out here. If you're wanting to break away from the West Coast IPA for a bit, this is your gal. Cheers!

This came in my Easter gift basket from my mother-in-law today and it was a definant treat,pours a nice golden color with some orange tint with light but pretty sticky head.Nice balanced aroma I picked up a big hoppy grassy aroma right off the bat but a real nice lingering biscuity aroma came thru as the beer settled.An IPA with a malt backbone what a concept!A big zesty herbal flavor hit right away but settles nicely with a slightly sweet malt attack in the finish.One of the better IPA's I have had in quite some time.

Appearance This one is extremely hazy orange in color with a good, full head.
Smell The big, floral notes lead off this hop parade. They are followed by some good pine resin that reminds me of our PacNW IPAs.
Taste The hops come out to dominate which, again, reminds me of the PacNW-version of IPA. This one is very complex at the taste. All of the wonderful grapefruit, pine, and citrus notes play perfectly well together.
Mouthfeel This medium-bodied ale is dry to the bone so, beware, gulps will come in bunches when drinking this guy.
Drinkability This is a solid example of the wonderful diversity that we can find in East Coast IPAs. This hop bomb is definitely worth a look.

Pours a halfway hazy golden color with some bright yellow and faint copper-orange highlights. Lots of huge chunks of unadulterated sediment float around the class and kind of hang in suspension without much movement at all. The head is thick and fluffy, almost brilliant white, leaving generous amounts of chunky lacing in its path. The nose comes out swinging with a floral and fragrant hop aroma; flowery, wet, and abrasive - you can almost smell the bitterness. Heavy lemon zest and apple skins, and I'm actually getting a touch of wheat - strange, because I'm fairly sure this beer has absolutely no wheat in it. Might be something from the pale malts.
Smuttynose IPA rolls along the palate with a medium body, somewhat slick and wet. The first thing you notice is the extroverted bitterness that hits hard, beginning, middle, and end. It's like the watchdog of the flavor profile - no matter what you taste, that heavy floral bitterness it gonna be there, too. Very perfume-like on the palate, mostly floral and flowery. On the fruity side of things, you get some intensely sharp and bittersweet grapefruit pith, which is more on the bitter side than the sweet side. The flavor warms up and gets more zesty with time - the pine needles and resin start to come out and the hop profile is evolving right in front of you. Despite the resin that comes into play, it never tastes or feels heavy on the hop oil - interesting. Some slight orange zest flavors hit on the tail end, finishing with an earthy, vaguely peppery, floral hop bitterness. High carbonation shows no mercy on your tongue, either.
What a damn good IPA. It's not the MOST bitter thing I've had, but the bitterness is unique and it remains strong for the entire duration of the brew. Nice light citrus to back it up, too. Pale malts? Yeah, maybe. But who needs 'em? This is a nice IPA for the bitter loving freaks out there.

This IPA is dry-hopped and unfiltered. The lees (sediment) that form on the bottom of the bottle are a natural part of this fine ale. You could say, then, that Smuttynose IPA is a physical salute to the glory of the American hop grower. The citrusy hop flavor coming from a mixture of Simcoe and Santiams is pleasantly balanced by a smooth bitterness from the Amarillo hops. The beer itself is light bodied and crisp with a golden color that will throw a slight haze, as we bottle it unfiltered. At 65 IBU's, this is definitely not a training-wheels IPA, but is meant for hop lovers looking to satisfy their craving in a way that's not easy to find. I think you'll be quite pleased. ABV 6.9%

12 oz bottle received in the Virgin BIF.
A-Cloudy, golden straw color. Looks interesting.
S-Great piney, citrus smell coming through. Very clean smell
T-Mild sweet malt, citrus, and some earthiness hit the tongue first and then ends fairly clean but bitter on the end. Almost astringent and very drying on the end.
M-Medium body with low carbonation
D-Could put a few down, but alittle too drying on the end to keep drinking these

Presentation- Smuttynose IPA "India Pale Ale".
"Finestkind" on main label with some old fellows who seem to be pretty damn happy on their lounge chairs drinking some beer. Off- centered top label shows a seal with brewing name under.
A- Pours a massive bubbly one and a half inch head that stayed around for quite awhile. Pale orange color with a heavy hue of floating mass. Excellent unfiltered bright ambience in the light. Leaves decent lacing on the top of the glass. Mild foamy head remains like ice on water. Very inviting.
S- Fresh grassy hop presence is well noted upfront with a light dose of malts and alcohol and also a factor in the scent. Hops are the predominate smell.
T-M- Taste is pretty good with a quick flash of hop bitterness that leaves a lasting effect on the tongue. Bittersweet backbone of malts and alcohol warmth... still hops are the massive flavor maker. Fresh cut grass, grapefruit, and citrus flavors are excellent in this brew. Nice mouthfeel for quite a bitter beer. Astringent on the tongue, lasting bitterness and mild carbonation.
D- I think this been the best drinkable ipa i've had yet. Excellent it is offered on tap behind where I work at Tap's bar and grill.
SWEET. Bro approved.

Enjoyed yesterday from bottle to glass, obtained via trade (yet another awesome extra) from @totalbangover.
The last few months I've been on a big double an triple IPA kick and as such, haven't been buying many single IPAs and once I cracked and poured this fine beer, I was a happy camper.
If you were to take a picture of what a great IPA were to look like in a glass, this would be it: perfect golden/orangish hue with a finger+ of nice creamy white foam.
If you were to try to describe what a highly rated single IPA were to taste like...ding ding ding. Hops, some fruit and lots of goodness. The nose too was fantastic.
Yet another beer that I can't get in my area, hell, my state, that I wish I could. Nothing that people create threads about but one that, as the label illustrates, I could see sitting on the porch or deck with a buddy enjoying a sixer of and mug like the company, enjoying every last minute of.
VERY SOLID IPA. A fridge staple.

Deep orangish-gold in color. Smells absolutely wonderful. Tropical fruit and some true, deep citrus notes. Wow, this is quite good. Initial taste is thick and sweet. You expect bitter, but it doesn't happen. Then the flavor churns into deeper citrus hop notes and then the bitterness slowly materializes but is only around to offset the heavy sweetness. Despite the bitterness coming on late, it surprisingly dissipates quickly to leave a semi-clean / semi-robust hoppy mouthfeel. This is a very good and drinkable IPA.
Like It? How Could I Not?

Appearance: Wonderful unfiltered deep orange/copper color with visible sediment. Excellent!
Smell: Strong hop aroma with hints of citrus. Very floral. I loved the smell right out of the bottle once poured.
Taste: Crisp grapefruity/citrusy flavor with a lingering hop aftertaste. Bitter aftertaste was a bit stronger than I would have liked. I didn't find it to be very balanced.
Mouthfeel: Clean & smooth while just slightly cloying due to the bitterness. Again, more balance was expected.
Drinkability: Enjoyable beer for sipping, but is a bit bitter for me for more than one or two.
Overall: I found this to be a very good IPA, but a bit more bitter than I was anticipating for a single IPA. I think I would like it more paired with the right food, i.e. something spicy perhaps? to balance the flavor a bit. I would definitely recommend to those who enjoy IPA's.

This one pours a beautiful golden opaque orange with a nice 1" head. Looks like I want my IPA to look in my glass...the beautiful color begs me to take that first sip. The smell is dominated by hops. Notes of orange and grapefruit hit my nose as well as a underlying floral scent. It just smells good...I'm a bit stuffed up, but the hops still push through.
The first sip is quite nice. The hops dominate but there is a nice underlying caramel malt flavor as well. The citrusy hops are tasty and the biterness is nearly perfect. A nice, well balanced IPA. I just wish I could find Smuttynose brews in IL!
The mouthfeel is good....smooth and not too bubbly. The body is just right. Drinkability on this one is good...totally a session brew here. I would drink it more often if I could get my hands on it. A damn fine IPA I'd suggest to anyone. Thanks to blitheringidiot for hooking me up with this one.

Pale orange color, lighter than most IPAs. Small white head left only a later of bubbles. Coating of lacing on the glass. Clear body with lots of floaties.
Very nice aroma. Lots of grassy hops, with some pine. Hints of floral and citrus. Light clean malt underneath. Taste is grassy and earthy hops. Lingering bitterness. Light clean malt flavor underneath again. Not overly strong in my opinion but good.
Mouthfeel is a bit thin for the style. Good drinkability. Not as sweet as many other IPAs so this one goes down a bit slower. A good drinker. Another good east coast IPA that has many similar flavor characteristics to Hop Wallop and Nugget Nectar.

A solid IPA. Golden color, nice medium head. Floral aroma, a little citrus in there also. Tasted initially sweet, then the nice hop sharpness kicked in. Pretty assertive beer. A beer to drink a few of, as long as you're sticking to IPAs. I liked this almost as much as Smutty's Big A IPA.

Loved this beer. One of the best things was how well the smell portrayed just how hoppy and fruity it was. Not as fruity as you'd imagine though; well balanced. Unfiltered; I'm not a huge fan of the hops particles floating around but skillful dry hopping is likely what distinguishes this beer. After having just one of these it's honestly up there as one of my favorite AIPAs but I'm not hard to please. Masala Mama, Two Hearted, Founders. God I'm cliche.

I have drank a lot of these bad boys. Whenever i go home to the east coast i end up consuming at least two 6's (what with all of the "welcome back" festivities)
The Smutty nose IPA is probably my favorite session IPA. From the time you pour it into your pint glass, you can smell the crisp hops. It is relatively light bodied while being just boozy enough to keep a party buzz without slowing you down.
It is exceptionally balanced, has a pleasant mouth feel and a drinkability that only few IPA's manage to sustain after your 3rd.

Kam talks with Dr. Amy Johnson on luck. What separates lucky people from unlucky people? Dr. Johnson breaks down the scientific research behind luck into five easy to understand points.According to Dr. Johnson, luck is not a magical, mystical thing. There is a distinct difference between lucky people and unlucky people, based on how they behave, relate and react to everyday situations.From Dr. Johnson:1. Lucky people are open to trying new things. Lucky people say yes to new opportunities. They are less stuck in daily habits and are willing to venture into the unknown. 2. Lucky people are willing to fail. Lucky people take chances. What an unlucky person would call "failure", a lucky person calls "feedback". 3. Lucky people notice things that unlucky people don't. There is a hilarious study that shows that people who consider themselves lucky notice things planted in their path (money on the ground, opportunities for rewards) that unlucky people literally step on without noticing. 4. Lucky people follow their gut. Lucky people use their intuition, follow hunches, and are aware of their feelings much more than unlucky people. Unlucky people are in their head more, using logic and reasoning and following rules, whereas lucky people are more in the moment. 5. Lucky people find luck in unlikely places. Lucky people look for the luck in virtually any situation. Master psychologist Dr. Johnson also has a book, "Modern Enlightenment" for sale here: www.amazon.com/dp/1475123043.For more information on Dr. Johnson, visit www.dramyjohnson.com.

Had some spare time at work this evening and threw my freshly sharpened Manix 2 under the microscope. I'd like to compare a factory-sharpened edge to get a good baseline of what laser-sharp looks like. My Elmax mule should be getting to UPS tomorrow so I'll have to look at that once it comes in.
I used a Lansky diamond system to reprofile the edge of the blade I'm photographing now. From the factory it was slightly higher than the 17 degree setting on the sharpener. The opposite side matched 17 degrees well. I used coarse, medium and fine diamond stones with a quick finish with a black hard Arkansas hone (1200 grit, maybe?)
Not sure how this could be useful other than looking at edge quality, but it's always fun seeing stuff larger than life
1, 22 - Manix 2, 154CM, hollow ground and 17° Lansky-sharpened
35 - Dodo, S30V, factory hollow ground
43, 44 - Manix 2, M4, factory full flat ground
45 - Mule MT13, Elmax, factory full flat ground
68, 69 - Bark River Little Creek, A2, convex ground and touched up on the black and green strops
83 - Manix 2, M4, Lansky diamond system and black and green strops, 17° and 20°
94, 95 - Washington state quarter
96 - Caly3, ZDP189/420J2, flat ground, Lansky diamond system and black and green strops, 17°
97 - Caly3, ZDP189/420J2, same as above but with 25° micro bevel
99 - Lansky coarse diamond stone
100 - Lansky medium diamond stone
101 - Lansky fine diamond stone
102 - Lansky black hard Arkansas hone
122 - Reynolds aluminum foil
137 - Manix 2, 154CM, sharpened with Edge Pro Apex
143 - Manix 2, 154CM, after cutting white pine and cardboard
159 - Manix 2, 154CM, after cutting white pine and cardboard, edge-on view
160 - Ritter RSK Mk1, M2HS, factory edge
Here's a picture of the setup:
The stereo microscope is 10-63x magnification with a B/W camera, and the metallograph to the left will go from 50-1000x. I really want to make a jig that'll hold the blade's edge parallel to the lens so I can get some closer pictures.
Some pictures, starting at 10x:
It amazes me how bad little flaws look at 63x. Here's a good example:
I did appreciate how the light found where my edge needed a little more work.
Mods, not sure if this qualified as a general thread or should be in the pictures section. Please move if it belongs in the other!

Red Sox add to bullpen with veteran Uehara
Right-hander has 2.89 ERA in four seasons with O's, Rangers since arrival from Japan
The Red Sox continued to make moves on the final day of the Winter Meetings on Thursday, reaching a a deal with free-agent reliever Koji Uehara, according to a Major League source. The deal is pending a physical.
Uehara, 37, pitched 36 innings for Texas last season, his fourth in the Major Leagues. He would give the Red Sox another experienced late-inning arm. The right-hander worked to a 1.75 ERA in 37 appearances for Texas last season, and he has posted a 2.89 ERA in 157 big league appearances.
Uehara was a two-time winner of the Sawamura Award, given annually to the best starting pitcher in Japan, during his tenure with the Yomiuri Giants of Central League, and he signed with the Orioles prior to the 2009 campaign. Uehara was traded to Texas in 2011, and he's pitched in the playoffs for the Rangers in each of the past two seasons.

Farmall Tractor Sizes
Farmall Super A, AV, 1939 - 1954
Moderator: Team Cub
Forum rules
Notice: For sale and wanted posts are not allowed in this forum. Please use our free classifieds or one of our site sponsors for your tractor and parts needs.
Farmall Tractor Sizes
Could anyone help me out with the sizes of Farmall Tractors?
If I want something a little bigger than the Cub but still a "Classic Farmall", what are my options? I don't mean to get into specifications or anything like that, just a spectrum from little to big would be enough to get me started.
Am I right in assuming the spectrum looks kind of like: Cub, A, Super A, B, C, Super C, H, M, Super M or something like that?
Searchable Cub Parts Database and Manual Galleries at www.farmallcub.info - Computerized Carving at www.bitcarving.com
You are pretty well on track. The A and B were the same engine and driveline with different axle/wheel configurations. The Super A was an improved A. The C was similar to the Super A except in a high wheel, tricycle form. Super C was an improved C. 100 was an improved Super A and the 200 an improved Super C.
The H was the next bigger tractor from the A. It was replaced by the Super H then the 300.
The M was the next size up from the H. It was replaced by the Super M then the 400.
Standard tread tractors of the H size were the 4-series (W-4, O-4, OS-4, I-4). In the M size there was the 6-series. The 9-series was the next larger from the M. There was no 9-series Farmall model. There were some other versions and intermediate models but this covers the big picture.
Thanks, Jim, so if I had to diagram it out from small tractors to large, given a little leeway for artistic liberty, it'd be something like:
+ Cub
....|..+ Super A
....|..|..+ 100
....|......+ Super C
....|.........+ 200
....|..+ Super H
....|..+ 300
.......+ Super M
.......+ 400
And so if I was looking for a tractor that was a little larger than the Cub, obviously the A and B tractors would not fit the bill as they used the same
driveline and engine. And I know the M is much too big because a friend has one along with a "Regular"? So I would be looking at something like a Super C? I want something with a wide front axle, not a "tricycle" front end, if you know what I mean...
Cecil - thank you for the offer! It would be awesome to look at some of the other models!
Searchable Cub Parts Database and Manual Galleries at www.farmallcub.info - Computerized Carving at www.bitcarving.com
The "A", "B", and "C" used the same engine, but not the same engine as a Cub. They are the next size up. A ,B, & C had a 113 cubic inch engine, Cub only had 60 cubic inches. Some "C's" & the Super C had a 123 CI engine.
I guess I wasn't clear on one point. The A and B used the same drive train as each other, but not the same as the Cub. The A is about 50% larger than a Cub with close to twice the power.
Of the models mentioned, the Cub, A, Super A and 100 are all offset designs and came with a wide front axle. The other models were all tricycle type with a wide front axle available as an option.
I can't help but snicker a little when I hear people brag on how much work a Cub can do......Nothing against a Cub as they have their place but a super A will probably do two-three times what a Cub will and it's only 1/3 bigger in physical size!

Super A- You got a good point. The Cub has a leg up on other tractors in that is has live hydraulics and a hitch system. Most A's I've seen are pretty bare bones but make great mowers with the woods underneath.
I've got a Allis Chalmers CA and that has 3x's the CUB power in in a package just slightly larger with hyd. and a hitch. So go figure.
The Super A typically has Touch Control (2 valve vs. 1 on a Cub) and the hitch system is essentially the same (except bigger) as a Cub of the corresponding year.
Jim, I called a friend of mine tonight and he has an A ( no hyd.). Was it only the 113" motor that didn't have hyd.? Obviously the 123 on the Super was the same setup as the C and Super C.
No the Super A had a 113 engine. All you have to do is put in thinwall sleeves and bigger pistons to make it a 123. Externally, you can't tell the difference between the two.
White Demo Super A Restoration Updates
Let us pray for farmers and all who prepare the soil for planting, that the seeds they sow may lead to a bountiful harvest.
Basicly, everything else.
The Super had Touch-Control (technicly an option but . . .). Allowance for the hydraulics required every major casting from the fan to the steering wheel to change. The final drives were changed for the quick attach implement mounts. Some internal changes to the transmission. An A engine block can't be used in a Super A because it lacks the mounting point for the hydraulic pump.
The engine blocks were changed in '51 to a bigger bottom bore to allow for the 123" sleeves. From that point, the Super A used thicker sleeves to maintain the 113" size. The 123 size was used in a few Cs, all Super Cs and the Super A1.
I think I had better stick to H's and M's. The whole A, B, BN , Super A, Super C, thing has got me all flustered. LOLOLOL
Hey Allenlook, what you got against narrow front? Its like having ZTR. I was all hep to putting wide front on the H until I realized I didn't what to give up the menuverability.
Sizes Engines and Pistons
The A's, C's, Super A's, and Super C's used the same basic blocks there were several differences though between them other than the transmissions and treads
The Only Difference between an A and a C is that a C uses a high compression piston, the pistons from a C will go into an A and give it a HP boost, this is what many tractor pullers do to make them run stronger
The only difference between a Super A and a Super C is the same, the pistons are different. The pistons for a Super A and an A are identical and The Pistons for a C and a Super C are identical
a B Uses a the Same Block as well just Different configurations from the A maybe slightly better Pistons as well
The Difference between the 'normal' letter series and the super letter series is the supers have waterpumps.
The H's and The M's and The Super H's And Super M's are the same way, the only differences between letters are pistons and a waterpump makes it a Super Letter Series
The H's and The M's Used A Larger Block (123 Cu In.) While The A's and C's and B's Used A Smaller Block (113 Cu In.)
Believe me on this I made a Pulling Tractor for a friend of mine out of his old Super A by putting Super C pistons into it, seamless transition, it'll purr along with 3 16" plows now.
"Consistency is not necessarily a good thing,
Especially if you are consistantly wrong"

"Don't Force it, use a bigger hammer"

A journalist's beheading was retaliation for U.S. airstrikes, a terrorist said.
(RNN) - Republicans in Congress are threatening to shut down the government because they say Obamacare is too expensive and the government needs to rein in spending. But just who is paying for it?
The answer is complicated.
Depending on which part of the Affordable Care Act - otherwise dubbed Obamacare - that you're talking about, the funding will come from five sources: individuals, employers, states, the federal government and taxes and fees.
Individuals will be responsible for obtaining insurance, whether through their employer or the new healthcare exchanges set to open up on Oct. 1.
If you don't purchase healthcare insurance for yourself, your spouse and your dependents, you will have to pay a fine to the IRS, which starts at $95 per person or 1 percent of income, whichever is higher, in 2014. That number jumps to $695 per person or 2.5 percent of income by 2016.
But you don't have to shoulder the burden of your insurance premium alone.
Depending on how much money you make, the federal government will pay you a subsidy to purchase insurance. You're eligible for a subsidy if your income is between one and four times the federal poverty level.
These subsidies are factored based on your income and cost of the second lowest-priced, silver-tiered plan available on the exchange. Silver plans pay about 70 percent of your healthcare costs. Bronze plans pay 60 percent, gold plans pay 80 percent and platinum plans pay 90 percent.
You can take the subsidy the government gives you and use it along with your own money to purchase any level of plan you want, from bronze, which will be cheaper, to platinum which will be the most expensive.
Estimates of insurance premium cost have varied widely, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 56 percent of uninsured Americans will be able to get coverage through the marketplace for less than $100 per month.
You can find out how much your insurance premiums could cost you here, with the Kaiser Family Foundation's subsidy calculator.
The premium you pay is based by law on your age, your location and whether or not you use tobacco. The Affordable Care Act has ruled that other factors can't be taken into consideration.
Beginning next year, all employers with 50 or more employees must provide a healthcare plan to their full-time employees or face a fine of $2,000 per employee, minus the first 30 employees, per year. (A company with exactly 50 full-time employees would pay a fine of 20 x $2,000, or $40,000.)
Employers are only responsible at this time for covering full-time employees. Part-time employees are exempt.
But that doesn't mean employers can offer bottom of the barrel, high-deductible plans and avoid the penalty. The insurance must meet federal requirements by equaling the same level as a bronze-tiered plan, or the employer will face even larger fines.
Small businesses, on the other hand, may receive tax credits for providing insurance. You can read more on the topic on the IRS' website.
Originally, the ACA required all states to pay a percentage of mandatory Medicaid expansion, which the Congressional Budget Office estimated would provide coverage to an additional 11 million low-income people.
But the 2012 Supreme Court decision that affirmed the constitutionality of Obamacare also gave states the right to decide whether or not to expand Medicaid. About half the states have decided to expand.
Under the expanded Medicaid provisions, people with an income of 138 percent or lower than the federal poverty level would qualify for Medicaid coverage.
For example, an individual making the maximum 138 percent of federal poverty level income to qualify for the expansion makes $15,856 per year. For a family of four, that comes to $32,499.
But the Supreme Court decision has created a sticky situation for the states that aren't expanding. Under the Affordable Care Act, anyone who is eligible for public assistance such as Medicaid or Medicare cannot receive a subsidy for purchasing their own insurance.
So far, the government isn't making an exception for low-income earners in states that aren't expanding Medicaid, according to HealthCare.gov.
"If you live in a state that isn't expanding Medicaid you may not qualify for either Medicaid or reduced costs on a private insurance plan. It will depend on where your income falls," the site says.
Without the coverage, there will be large gaps in healthcare coverage eligibility for millions, according to a brief published by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured.
"In states not moving forward with the expansion, nearly all childless adults will remain ineligible for Medicaid as well as parents with incomes above current eligibility levels. Individuals with incomes below poverty are not eligible to receive subsidies to purchase coverage in the new marketplace," the brief states.
The federal government is responsible for funding a major portion of expanded Medicaid coverage and insurance subsidies for those buying plans over the Exchange.
The government will pay states 100 percent of the cost of expanding Medicaid to newly eligible adults from 2014-2016, then at least 90 percent after. If states don't expand Medicaid now, then the amount of money they'll receive from the federal government could be much lower.
The federal government has also helped pay for states to set up their own exchanges - more than $3.8 billion so far. In some cases, the federal government will run exchanges in conjunction with states.
Assorted taxes and fees will offset the ACA costs.
The most direct is a Medicare tax rate hike for higher earners, which took effect this year. It increased the Medicare tax on income by .9 percent for households making more than $200,000 a year.
It also levies a 3.8 percent assessment on unearned income, such as from investments and stock sales.
Beginning next year, the health insurance industry will have to pay a shared $8 billion, which increases to $14.3 billion in 2019, then continues to go up based on premiums their customers pay.
A few other taxes and fees have already taken effect.
What effect these changes will have on the cost of healthcare is nebulous, but one thing is clear - it's going to be expensive.
The U.S. already far outpaces healthcare spending per person by other first-world countries. In 2011 the U.S. spent almost $8,000 per person per year. That's $2,608 more per person than the next closet contender - Norway, which spent $5,352. For some reference, Canada spent about $4,363 per person and Australia spent $3,445, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,
Healthcare costs are expected to continue to rise.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that healthcare spending will climb from 17.6 percent of the GDP, or total productivity of the entire country, to 19.8 percent by 2020.
The Congressional Budget Office cites increased government spending on insuring the uninsured through expanded Medicaid and the Health Insurance Exchanges as the reasons.
Whether this will lower the costs of treatment for those actually being treated - namely you - remains to be seen.

Robinson celebrated by all players
Barrier-breaking icon universally respected, honored Tuesday
A life remembered. A legacy honored. Hopes being given wings, the evidence in vivid display on diamonds sparkling with the inheritors of the dream.As Major League Baseball paused on Tuesday for its annual observance of Jackie Robinson Day, it was evident that the man who wanted to be most remembered for impacting others' lives still wields that power. From midday to night, from coast to coast, from New York to San Diego, the 61st anniversary of Robinson's barrier-breaking debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers was celebrated. But the prevalent statistics in ballparks around the nation weren't Robinson's baseball numbers, but the dozens of Jackie Robinson Foundation scholars who participated in ceremonies as tangible proof of an abstract concept. Jackie Robinson scholars were front and center at every ballpark, making and catching first pitches, singing, or just taking bows as testament that the dream Rachel Robinson had in starting a foundation in her late husband's name in 1973 -- within months of his death -- is working. In that spirit, the Foundation will also be the major beneficiary of Tuesday's celebrations, long after video boards stopped flickering with sepia images and the cheers faded. Artifacts from Tuesday's games, from specially-marked bases to game-worn No. 42 uniforms, are being auctioned to benefit the Foundation.
"You know you're putting on a number that's not yours, but that's retired in every ballpark. You have to stop and ask why. Why are we doing it?" posed the Mets' Damion Easley. "What does it mean? We forget about the people that kind of paved the way or opened doors or were just pioneers."I don't know a significant way to do it. But the fact that we're trying to do something means something." "It is an honor to wear his number," said Giants second baseman Ray Durham, chosen to be the only one on his team to play in No. 42. "He meant so much to a lot of players, not only black players. He's created opportunities for other players, not only our sport, but other sports too." "There's so much you can say about Jackie Robinson," Diamondbacks second baseman Orlando Hudson said. "There aren't words. I can't put it into words." In Cleveland, C.C. Sabathia was warmed on the bench by the No. 42 on his back. "To me, he means everything," said Sabathia. "I wouldn't get a chance to play this game if it wasn't for him. He means so much to so many people, but he means everything to me." "It's an honor," said Derrek Lee, one of the Cubs' Nos. 42, in Wrigley Field before the Cubs played the Reds. "Anything you can do to bring awareness to what he did and pay your respects to what he did is definitely a good thing." Across town, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen confirmed the educational role of Jackie Robinson Day. "I thought I kind of knew baseball," Guillen, who also crediting visits to Kansas City's Negro League Museum and the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis with his illumination, said. "But I learned a lot about this country and how baseball is very important. I think this man [Robinson] did a lot of great things for us." "That's the guy who set the stage for me and the rest of us minorities," said Astros manager Cecil Cooper in Philadelphia. "I'm tickled to have the opportunity to wear the number. It might be cold and I might have my jacket on. Maybe I'll take it off in the middle of the game [so people can see that number]. It's a thrill." Inasmuch as the day celebrates a seismic social shift more than just the individual who triggered it, a thoughtful reminder by Coco Crisp was very appropriate. The current Red Sox and former Indians outfielder, back in Cleveland as a visiting player, urged people to also remember Larry Doby, who became the American League's first black player in Robinson's 11-week-old footsteps, when he debuted with the Indians on July 5, 1947 -- in uniform No. 14. "You can't forget about him," Crisp said. "Both of those guys, we get to celebrate by wearing Jackie Robinson's number." The leadoff game for the coast-to-coast celebration provided a tough act for the rest of the schedule to follow. In Arlington, the entire squads of the Angels and the Rangers respectfully wore the No. 42. Amid all the remembrances, testimonials and reverent recollections, Rangers pitcher Joaquin Benoit, although a native of the Dominican Republic, boiled down the day's significance to brute basics. "This is why I'm here," Benoit said. "No. 42. He broke that barrier." "We all appreciate what this represents to the game," Rangers shortstop Michael Young said. "I'm not going to pretend to understand what [Robinson] went through, but everybody understands the important contribution he made to the game and to our country." While the unanimity of the Angels and Rangers was dramatic in its own way, elsewhere the unique honor of wearing Robinson's number touched the chosen in a different way. "It's an absolute honor," Marlins third-base coach Bo Porter said in Miami, where he caught the ceremonial first pitch prior to the game against the Braves. "It's a monumental thing in baseball. To me, [Robinson] is an American hero." Prior to throwing out the first pitch in U.S. Cellular Field, Minnie Minoso accepted a touching award. Minoso became the White Sox first black player in 1951; having been born in Cuba, however, that did not make him the franchise's first African-American player. Nevertheless, Minoso received the Jackie Robinson Lifetime Achievement Award from the Negro League Museum. Highlights of other Jackie Robinson Day observances: In St. Louis, Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock caught a pair of ceremonial first pitches, delivered by JR Foundation Scholars. In San Diego, another Hall of Fame outfielder, Dave Winfield, presented a check from the Padres Foundation to support future Jackie Robinson Foundation scholars. In Philadelphia, special recognition was given to the four surviving members of the Negro Leagues' Philadelphia Stars: pitcher Harold Gould, second baseman Mahlon Duckett and catchers Bill Cash and Stanley Glenn -- who knew Robinson. "I've never met an example like Jackie Robinson," Glenn said. "Educated? Yes. Staunchly built? Yes. If I were in a fox hole and wanted somebody next to me, it would probably be Jackie. That's saying an awful lot about a human being. "If America did not have sports, and baseball in particular, I don't know what kind of country we would be. So keep on loving it, keep on supporting it and let the world continue to know that baseball is America's game." And on that note, amen.

Kendall, along with Florida Marlins center fielder Juan Pierre, Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Bobby Abreu, Arizona Diamondbacks center fielder Steve Finley and Chicago Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez, has been selected to compete in the Ameriquest 2004 All-Star Final Vote balloting.
"I'd love to be on the All-Star team," said Kendall. "Those are things you get to tell your kids' kids about.
"But that's not under my control."
Now in its third year, the Ameriquest 2004 All-Star Final Vote gives baseball fans around the world the opportunity to select the final position player on each All-Star team. Balloting began immediately following Sunday night's Major League All-Start Selection Show and continues until 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The winners will be announced at 9 p.m. ET exclusively on MLB.com and will then be added to the AL and NL All-Star Game rosters.
Kendall, who started the 2000 All-Star game in place of injured slugger Mike Piazza, is enjoying another stellar season both at the plate and behind it. A .304 lifetime hitter entering the season, Kendall entered Sunday's action batting .312 with two home runs, 30 RBIs and a .391 on-base percentage. Defensively, Kendall has thrown out 40 percent of base runners attempting to steal against him. He has also received praise for his handling of the Bucs' young starting rotation.
Kendall has once again proven to be extremely durable. After leading all Major League catchers in starts and appearances in 2002 and 2003, Kendall has been behind the plate for 72 of the Pirates' 79 games, including a recent stretch of 34 consecutive starts.
"He has been our leader," said Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon. "There is nothing that could take the place of what he has done.
"I'm extremely proud of him and I hope he gets in."
If selected, Kendall would join shortstop Jack Wilson in giving the Pirates their first duo at the All-Star game since Kendall and Brian Giles represented the club in 2000 at Turner Field in Atlanta. Wilson was named to his first All-Star team on Sunday.
"I'm happy for Jack, first of all. It was deserved," said Kendall. "We'll see how it goes."
Minnesota Twins outfielder Lew Ford, Cleveland Indians first baseman Travis Hafner, Chicago White Sox designated hitter Frank Thomas and first baseman Paul Konerko, and New York Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui will compete for the final spot on the AL roster.
