    Farmall A starting problems??

    Can someone please explain to me how to adjust timing on a distributor with a coil. This is a 12v setup on a farmall A if that matters. I just can"t seem to get the engine to start, I"m about 90% sure it"s in the timing.

    I have one main wire coming off the alternator and going to the negative side of the ammeter. I also have two small plug -in wires that connect to the side of the alternator which run back to the starter switch. So my copper post on that starter is very lose to the point of where I can...

    Alternator getting hot?

    Just wired up my farmall A and I'm finding without the engine running the alternator is too hot to touch. Why is this happening? My next question, the copper bolt that comes out of the starter on my A is lose and is allowing for poor connection which doesn't help the starting...

    Crank Pulley Stuck !!!

    I tried installing my crank pulley for my Farmall A. I heated the pulley up to 200 degrees and tried installing it. The keyway hole was a hair off and now the pulley is stuck. The pulley can"t go on all the way because it is misalined and I can"t take it off because it won"t move. Can I turn...

    Cleaning out engine Block?

    I posted about a over heating problem on a 41 Farmall A and had some great feedback. I read some older messages, any people suggested to flush out the block? How do I go about doing this? Someone said put a hose in the top radiator inlet to flush out, is this what I need to do? Thanks for the...

    1941 Farmall A, Too Hot !

    I have a 5' belly mower that I plan on cutting my 5 acres with. Other than mowing just the occasional tractor ride and that's it. The radiator is clean and moves coolant and air very well. Should I change my cap on the radiator to something with a vent to allow steam to seep out? As far as...

    Farmall A Crankshaft Pulley

    Yeah she slips on really easy, no hammer or any tapping device is needed to put this on. Goes on nice and easy, I"m guessing this is not correct? You mentioned a lock nut on the set screw, I don"t have that. The lock nut goes on the outside of the pulley? Thanks again

    Farmall A Crankshaft Pulley

    Yes, I have the key. It seems to tighten down ok, but like I said a day"s worth of work and it becomes loose again. There are no other bolts that hold this is place correct? Only a set screw for the key. Thanks
