[Farmall] Final Drive Needed

[Jim Becker]

Running with an A housing won't hurt anything, just can't put the drawbar 
etc. on.  The whining noise depends on how bad is bad.  A lot of these 
tractors have a noise like that, just from gear wear.  Usually one gear is 
worse than the rest.  Which one depends on how the tractor was used most of 
it's life.

>> What Mike told you is right on the mark.  Your tractor has a left final 
>> drive from an A, which is different than a Super A.  You need a Super A 
>> housing, part numbers as Mike listed.  B housing is the same as the A 
>> housing, the same as what you have now.
