11.2 is probably the smallest you want on a CA... 12.4 looks better... The 9.5 was used on many Bs.. but i have a couple with 11.2 inch tires and they fit the B nice.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I'm thinking I may have to up to 21" rows (my drill has 7" spacing). I'm planning on playing around with row spacing in a few plots. The biggest pain will probably be changing the cultivator and tire spacing between plots. 11.2 may be what I'm stuck with if I want to keep the power adjust rims, which I think I do.

A guy had a rough CA he was about to haul in for scrap, so I bought it from him instead. This one's a 1951. The engine is stuck and one front and one rear rim are completely shot, with the other two possibly being repairable with some work. I'm hoping I have a decent chance of making one good tractor if I combine these two tractor, do an engine rebuild, and buy tires.
I also picked up a gas tank, front wheel, cultivators, and a B/C 9705 Zenith carb that I think will get me by for a bit until I come across a correct carb for a CA. I need to get the WD done and out of the shop so I can get to work on a CA.

Nice! As the owner of a 52 and a 55 CA I'm happy to see more kept alive here. The more work I see you guys posting on here, the more I learn how to do more things on my own. And as other have said.....I love running my CA. It has incredible power for a the horsepower it's rated at.

You did the right thing dragging that thing home! There aren't near as many CA's out there as other models and a lot of the parts are unique to them. I would buy more if they were around.

John, This is great news on the additional CA. You now have a lot of parts to make one really good CA. I have never driven one much, so i hope to change that at some point with help from folks here. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

I've been dragging a single harrow section around with CA-2 this weekend, really like these little tractors.

Our 52’ with the Woods L306 belly mower has been mowing our farm yard and river front property for over 20 years. Does a great job and fun to run even without PS. Just keep her moving and she turns easily.

I mowed with the very same setup tonight, I bought my L306 mower in 2003, it has been on 2 tractors, both CA's and it is bulletproof.
