    MF 65 Rear Tires and Wheels

    Thanks. I was thinking that was the reason, but didn't know if they would actually stamp the tire with both sizes. I am assuming this is mounted on a 12 inch rim. The tires are not bulged out like you see when the rim is too narrow. How about the wheels? Regular hoop rims can replace the power...

    MF 65 Rear Tires and Wheels

    Two questions. First, can the power adjust rims with the ramps be replaced by regular hoop rims? Mine are pretty rusty around the valve stems and I just use it for brush hogging and would never really need to adjust the spacing. Second, the tires that are on it are stamped with TWO sizes...

    SA Brake Job

    Have mine apart right now. Not that hard. Jack it up and support it. Remove the wheel. Dis-connect the clevis where the brake band meets the brake pedal shaft. Support the final drive with a crane or a floor jack and remove the bolts between the final drive and the transmission. On the left side...

    Super A Brake Shaft

    When I tore my tractor down, I found someone in the past had welded the right brake pedal to the shaft. I had to grind through the weld to get it apart which ruind the shaft and the pedal. I ordered a replacement shaft from OEM Tractor Parts and when I got it, the hole for the keeper bolt was in...

    Super A Belt Drive

    Hi Everyone. The belt drive has two places where it is sealed to keep the oil in. An O-ring seals it where the belt drive case meets the PTO case to keep the oil out of the shims, and an oil seal on the shaft. The shaft oil seal mounts in a seal retainer and rides on the spacer. The spacer goes...

    More Tear Down Super A

    Thanks for all the Welcomes....glad to be here.The stands were definately improvised, but were rock solid. Railroad tie cribbing in the back, and 2 wide base stands up front. The original idea behind tearing it down this way was to build the engine and re-furbish the front end, put it all back...

    Hi Everyone....New Guy

    First, I would like to extend a warm hello to everyone, and a big thanks for all the knowledge thats freely traded here. I have been reading this forum since last August, when I dragged (literally) a rather beat-up '51 Super A home for a winter project. Never having been around tractors before...

    Super A Rear Tire Sizes

    Thanks for all the great info everyone. I have never worked on a tractor before, but have been an aircraft mechanic for 25 years and look forward to the challenge. I am not real concerned about different tire sizes changing the final drive ratio (speed) as I will not be using it for any kind of...

    Super A Rear Tire Sizes

    I am building a 51 Super A mostly for looks and wont run it much when done, trying to build a real show piece. Want a little more meat on the rear to look more filled out. I have seen many pics on the internet, but can't ask questions. Have asked a couple questions here and enjoy learning about...

    Super A REar Tires Sizes

    All my rims are rusted out bad, so am buying new ones. Is it OK to buy a different size than came stock? I thought a bit bigger tire might look nicer than the stock one....a litle more meat on the back to look more "tractor" like.

    Super A Models

    Wow, thanks. I have ordered a set of manuals, hoping they will have info like that. My tractor is definately off set, the extremely faded decal seems to read Super A Culti-Vision, but I had no idea about the other model numbers. Can I figure out what model it is by numbers? Or how it's equiped...

    Super A REar Tires Sizes

    Hi. The forums tell me the original Super A had 9X24 tires, but the "modern" equivalant is 9.5X24 which is what was on my '51 when I bought it. My question is do people play around with other sizes? Is it possible to put a taller tire on? Wider? I don't care about final drive ratio, will just be...
