Super A is now running !

[dave01]

Thanks again guys, Helps when the timing is correct !
LOL

I drove it all around my property through all the gears, Kind a hard to tell but it seems to have a growl in the (I think they call it ) the finale drive(s) or maybe the 4 spd tranny??, maybe a bad bearing?, Hard to tell. Is there any particular bearing or shaft or????, the A's had problems with that I should be looking at?

As it is now this project is going on the back burner, I have way to many irons in the fire right now so you might not hear from me for a while til I get back to her.

As always You guys have been a big help, Thanks much !

later,dave

Growls are pretty common on those.

They all growl. Normal,Don't worry. It's the straight cut gears in them that causes the noise.

They all growl.

Put 85w140 oil in it. Itll still growl but not as loud. I noticed it was harder to get my 1941 A into gear with 80w90 in it because it took longer for the gears to slow down. And the growl was much louder. I put 85w140 in and it went into gear easier and the growl wasn't as loud.

As I wait for my manuals may I ask where and what use the said gear oil? 1 would obviously be the transmission - Any other cavities ?

As always Big thank you guys

I dumped some Lucas treatment in my Farmall, quieted it down a little.
