    Duals on late styled A

    I have a nice old late A . I found some pressed steel hubs that I knew I had but couldn't find til the other day( cleaning out shed ) . Id like to put them on my A with cast centers, as a dual hub. I have pressed wheels and matching tires from another tractor. Thinking it would look kinda neat...

    Thoughts are with those affected by the twin "Sister" tornadoes. Been watching KTIV - Sioux City . . . .bad bad nite for those folks in Pilger. Looks a big one on the ground over by Burwell, NE as well. Pilger, NE town motto is "Too Tough to Die". I hope that's true. Everyone keep your radios...

    Update on 300 engine problem

    Last week I posted about my 300 not running / possible gas issue. I found the problem. I had great fuel flow to the carb, but hardly a drip at the bottom of carb. I found two pieces of black stuff wedged in the needle and seat, thus preventing the needle from opening up. Cleaned and now works...

    300 engine problem

    It takes a few days to get that full of crap. The tractor sat for 2 yrs outside and I think it rusted some in the tank. But a lot of what I see don't look like rust. Its more dirt like very fine stuff. I am going to take the tank off and boil it out good this weekend, that will eliminate a lot...

    300 engine problem

    I am assuming it is. Its the steel type with hose barb on each end. That's what it had before, I just changed it when I noticed the sediment bulb would get half full of crud after a few days of use. I will check for flow though. Thanks.

    300 engine problem

    Was going to use the 300 today to pull a plow over to the other place, got it out and headed down the road. I didnt even make a mile, and it started acting up. Cuts out, stalls, wont run if it more than half open on the throttle. No smoke, no unusual noises. Runs fine if idling, but at the...

    Asbestos air ducts

    This may be a touchy subject, but here goes. Our home was built in 1934, and has some asbestos wrap on the furnace ducts. This stuff needs to go, as we are planning a remodel. I have heard that a good way to do it is to encapsulate the duct and bag it with double plastic. Does anyone have an...

    Late A axle housing

    I verified that the bull gears are indeed the same. So I think it should work. I will let you know on the outcome.

    Late A axle housing

    Just an observation. Unless my eyes are cheating me. . .which wouldn't surprise me any. The casting number of the rear end housing is the same, A3270R. I have the '49 apart, so I guess now is the time to try it.

    Quick Video: '41 Unstyled A

    Ken your gonna get your hand bit between that flywheel and starter one of these days. I have seen it happen to a friend of mine! Nearly ripped his hand right off. Put a battery in and utilize the starter. There is a reason JD covered the flywheel up. That being said, I really like the tractor...

    Late A axle housing

    I wonder if I will have to change bull gears though? They are taller in the '49 than in the later tractor.

    Late A axle housing

    Is it possible to swap a square axle housing onto a round axle tractor? One A is a '49 the other is a '52. The later one is in bad shape, the earlier one has a cracked housing. Was hoping a swap might work.

    is this possible

    That's a Scraper Special. Look at the hook and tow cable on the front corner. I would bet it may be used in the construction / road building business.
