    Question about non-detergent oil

    Thanks for all the comments and recommendations. I inherited the tractor from my father in law who had it rebuilt by a neighbor around 1970. I'm going to leave the oil switch to the next owner as I'm a senior and hopefully will get a few more seasons with it. I did find the right oil at Napa...

    Question about non-detergent oil

    I have a 1948 Super A that has always run on non-detergent oil. I had a hard time locating some as Tractor Supply no longer carries it. I stopped at an Ace hardware store and picked up five quarts of their house brand.. But it is called lubricating oil and not motor oil and is a Mineral oil with...

    1948 Super a starting issue

    Thank you all. I finally got it running. I didn't have any luck trying to gap the points using #1 cylinder. I believe that the rotor may have to have to be aligned with that cylinder so it was backfiring. I used the method suggested by gapping the points at the high point when they were all the...

    1948 Super a starting issue

    Thanks for your interest and replies. The points are brand new. Chinese or India no doubt. Old set were from Case. It's a six volt system with distributor. It had a magneto at one time but that is gone. The case just has the condenser. Test light shows power to neg. side of coil and distributor...

I replaced the points and gapped them at .020 using No 1 cylinder...

    Super A Ammeter repair or replace

    Hello, I needed to replace the instrument panel on my Super A as the steering wheel shaft bracket cracked off. It was welded once. In removing the ammeter the left stud looking at it from the rear came off. It's the original ammeter. Can it be resoldered and still work or do I need to replace...

    Thanks to the helpful memebers

    I've posted some questions for help in solving the charging problem on my Super AV vintage 1948 specifically about replacing the voltage regulator which I thought might be the culprit. I checked Steiner Parts website as a member recommended. As it turns out, my machine has a cut out regulator...

    Wire type

    Thank you. I just received the voltage regulator from Yesterday's Tractor. It's a positive ground saddle mount with three terminals on the left side and one on the right slightly underneath. The original Delco Remy only had two terminals-one on each side. Am I correct in using only the middle...
