    Battery for Super A

    I have a 1951 Farmall Super A. Should the battery be a 12 volt or a 6 volt? It has a 6 volt generator but are 6 volt batteries available? Thanks to all.

    Super A Wiring Harness and Paint

    When painting the cast on my Super A do you recommend: 1. masking the wiring harness 2. removing the wiring harness 3. covering the wiring harness with that black rubber coil cover available at Canadian Tire? All the wiring harness is original and is frayed and fragile in some places. I...

    progress on 51 Super A

    I have a 51 Super A also. I will need to repaint it and I am still in the cleaning stage. I am interested to know what you used to clean your SA bolts etc. Right now I am still scraping oil and dirt off then I have a degreaser to use. Do you have any suggestions for cleaning prior to...

    Super A Clutch

    Thanks rustyfarmall for this. I didn't know about the snap on seat covers. I will look into that. Is there a certain place that you know of that sells them? Maybe we are not supposed to name vendors here. I will also look online to see what I can find.

    Super A Clutch

    Thank you for your help regarding the clutch. Do you have a suggestion for re-upholstering the seat? The cushion is completely gone. How would it be done with that metal edge going all around that doesn't have a join or anything? I don't want to ruin the old seat as I would like to keep it...

    Super A Clutch

    Thank you for your replies. Right now there is zero free play in the clutch, nothing at all. There is no adjustment left on the finger bolt. Also the loose finger must have a broken spring on it. Is it doing damage to drive it the way it is very short distances like onto a trailer etc?

    Super A Clutch

    Where should the clutch engage on the pedal on my 1951 Super A? How far down or up? Right now it has to be all the way down as far as you can press the pedal. One of the fingers on the clutch is very loose and the other two are against the release bearing. Any suggestions? Should I split it...

    Farmall SA Wiring Harness

    That's what I want to do, is leave it as much original as I can. But I was thinking how will that look once the tractor is all restored with nice new paint, new seat cover, etc. and old frayed wiring harnesses? Will it matter if I want to show my tractor?

    Farmall SA Wiring Harness

    The wiring harnesses on my 1951 Super A are all original. Some areas of them are badly frayed, others are still really good. Should I replace the old frayed ones with new ones or is it better to keep everything original when restoring? Everything electrical works. There's no bare wires, just...

    Farmall Super A Color

    Thank you rustyfarmall. I won't paint the tractor myself, but I need to know what I'm talking about when I take it to be painted. I assume the painter should know the right color to use, but I have to know also. I don't want a deep gloss, just a nice regular IH red. I have a can of spray...

    Farmall Super A Color

    Thank you, CNKS for the information about paint numbers and codes. That will be very helpful when it's time for painting.

    Farmall Super A Color

    Thank you for the information. I just didn't want to make a mistake. So, it will be okay then if the new paint has a gloss. I guess, of course it will be glossy compared to an older tractor. I couldn't find colored pictures of an original '51 Super A. showing the original color.

    Farmall Super A Color

    Was the original color of a 1951 Farmall Super A a glossy IH red or a non glossy IH red? I am seeing some restored A's that are glossy red.
