    Dealing With Kick-Back

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I do only use upward pulls on the crank, just as I was taught as a kid. Now I'm glad I listened! I'll try troubleshooting then retarding the mag and see where that gets me.

    Dealing With Kick-Back

    I am having a lot of trouble with "Kick Back" on my A when trying to start it up. I am starting by hand, as there is no battery/charging system on the tractor now. It has been sitting in storage a couple of years. I put a rebuilt magneto on it and timed it according to the manual. I cleaned the...

    Farmall A/Super A radiator

    Gene, by "good one" I assume you mean used but usable? That would be fine with me. I know you have said in another post that you have parts, do you have a good radiator for an A that you would sell?

    Farmall A/Super A radiator

    So, do I correctly understand that what I currently have is a radiator from a super A-1 or newer tractor that is designed to run on a pressurized system? If so, how do I go about proving that it will not leak when under pressure so I can sell it to someone who owns one of those tractors?

    Farmall A seals, bearings, and gaskets

    Now this could be some of the best news I've heard all day! As for noise, I don't really recall hearing any obvious noise. I haven't had it running since last fall and I have a few small maintenance tasks to tackle before starting it up again. So, right now I'm hoping that I find the...

    Farmall A seals, bearings, and gaskets

    I just got back from napa, am in shock. I only priced one bearing and one seal, but He said he'd cut me a deal if I bought all the bearings and seals for the transmission, final drives, and pto. He said if I did that he'd sell me the bearings for the axle at $50 each and mark the others down by...

    Farmall A/Super A radiator

    Wow, thanks for all the replys! Here is some more info that I should have offered from the beginning to clear up some confusion. This is not a new radiator, my dad put it on in the early '90's when the old one was just beyond repair. I think he bought it new at the time. (yes, dad ran it since...

    Farmall A/Super A radiator

    I've got a Super A radiator on my '44 A, and it is too large to get the grill and hood on. The radiator holds water, but has some bent fins. Otherwise its in decent shape. So, what is the best way to go about selling my radiator? Could I get anything for it on Ebay? Do you think I could get...

    Farmall A seals, bearings, and gaskets

    It's warming up pretty consistently here in Louisiana, time to get back to the A. First up, I figured out last year (with the forums help) that I need to replace seals and bearings in the final drive to fix my wheel wobble on the left side. Also, the transmission is leaking quite badly on both...

    Grinding Gears

    Thanks everyone for the insights. This one will grind in any gear, including 3rd and 4th, as well as if I just try to engage the pto. In fact, I usually engage the pto first, then I can go into any gear without trouble. Tractor was my dad's, I wasn't around for the last 10 years or so, so I...

    Grinding Gears

    I am finding that my Farmall A does not like to go into gear after I first hit the clutch when the transmission is in neutral. It will not go into any gear unless I force it in, making the gears grind a lot in the process. Then, I can drive it, use the pto, and change gears just fine without...

    wobblin' wheel

    Thanks everyone for your input. Gene, how do you go about relining the brake bands? Will replacing the seals require me to remove the pan off the bottom of the final drives, and if so will the auto parts stores have replacements for those gaskets as well? JRSutton, I think i like your...

    wobblin' wheel

    The rear left wheel on my Farmall A has a wobble in it. I can rock it back and forth when it sits still and i can tell its definitely the axle that has some "slop" in it. So i looked at a parts manual. Apparently there are two bearings in there, along with seals. Also, i think I have a leak...

    Engine rebuild super a

    Wouldn't the domed pistons create slightly higher HP than flat or stepped head?
