    W6 Stuck Clutch

    Got the clutch out, it is pretty easy. The tapered bolts holding the connector between the input shaft and transmission were rusted tight and had to use a 3ft pipe on the wrench to break them loose. The clutch face was completely gone, pieces were in the bottom of the housing along with a lot of...

    W6 Stuck Clutch

    Thanks for the advice. Good to know it can all be done from above without splitting. I'll get it apart and everything lubed up.

    W6 Stuck Clutch

    I've been working on a W6 for a couple months now for my cousin. I've rebuilt the engine and yesterday Grandpa helped pull it around the barnyard to get oil pressure built up. All good no knocks and built oil pressure. The issue is the clutch was stuck. While it was in 5th gear I tried holding...

    Farmall A Starting Issues - Update

    Just wanted to let you guys know the A is now starting and running great. Even after cleaning the carb thoroughly it still was not starting the best. The spark seemed to be getting weaker too. I had this same issue with the F-12 and had to get a new coil. Sure enough got my new coil...

    Farmall A hard starting - fueling issue

    Thanks for the idea Gene. I took the carb off last night and checked the float. Holding the top side upside down it is horizontal so I think I'm good there. I'll clean out the passages like Gene suggested and see how it goes from there. I am also going to check the intake manifold and carb for...

    Jim, Thanks for the idea. After work I'll have to try that and check for manifold leak. -Noah

    Farmall A hard starting - fueling issue

    I had the carb apart again last weekend after cleaning the gas tank. I didn't check the float level when I had it apart. I'll have to do that tomorrow. I do have experience with these carbs so any advice is welcome. Impulse definitely works. When distributor cap is off the rotor advances stop...

    Farmall A hard starting - fueling issue

    Charlie, it does drip from the carb while cranking doesn't drip at all when not cranking so I don't think the float is stuck. rustred, I thought it might be plugs too so last weekend we got out the spark plug cleaner to make sure they were good and clean. Good to know about how to check the...

    Farmall A hard starting - fueling issue

    Hi everyone, Finally got the A running. Had some trouble at first with junk in the fuel tank. I took the tank off and cleaned it and it seems to run great now, picks up in 4th gear no problem. Only issue is it is hard to start. It has an H4 mag with no starter - hand crank only. I'll crank and...

    Farmall F-12 Losing Prime

    Thanks for all of the tips. Yes that is the odd thing that it will start right up after shut down with one crank, and within the week with just a few. Charlie, I'll have to try letting it sit for 5 minutes after 5-10 cranks and see if that works. My fuel system has the starting tank by the...

    Farmall F-12 Losing Prime

    Seeing the other question on the F-12 on here reminded me of a question I'd been meaning to ask. On my F-12 that I rebuilt last year, if it sits for two weeks without being started you have to crank it 40-50 times and then it fires off without any problems. It doesn't stutter even once in...

    Farmall A Lifters Sticking

    Thanks for the advice guys. I did assemble everything with plenty of oil/grease where applicable. Like I said though I never removed the front end or came so didn't touch the lifters. Good to know just the front end needs taken apart to remove the cam. If it doesn't loosen up it shouldn't be...

    Farmall A Lifters Sticking

    I did not pull the cam, just the top end, rod bearings, oil pump. I didn't take the front apart. Do you have to take the engine off to get the cam out, or just remove the front end? Thanks, Noah

    Farmall A Lifters Sticking

    I'm working on a Farmall A. Got done overhauling the engine, ground the valves and seats, and took apart the rocker arm assembly and cleaned it up. Put everything together and had terrible compression on most cylinders. Took the valve cover off thought maybe I needed to check valve lash again...

    Farmall A - What to Do?

    The engine was seized, although not bad, it only took a couple weeks of soaking to get it to spin but 5 out of 8 valves were stuck pretty tight and I wanted to get them cleaned up because they were not seating tightly, even once I got them loose.
