[Farmall] What followed me home today

[Ben Wagner]

Al;

Looks like you have a project!  I happen to be a Farmall A lover myself with
a 1948 Super A.  My Great-Grandfather owned a crank start A in the 1940's.
My grandfather, now in his 70's, remembers pulling it in gear with the
family's other tractor (Oliver 70) to start it.  He loved to hear it "loud"
so my great-grandfather would remove the muffler to let the full roar come
out.  Maybe that's why he can't hear...!  I would just love to find both the
A and the 70, but they were both sold with the farm.  So I had to succumb
and make do with a Super A!  

Enjoy restoring this jewel.  I am excited for you!  

BTW, how do you crank start an engine?  I have heard some stories on men
breaking arms while starting their tractors!

Charlie, this is one of the reasons I missed the Trenton sale today.

It's a 1940.  No starter, no provision for one. Doesn't run but it's loose.
Dzus fasteners on the tin work. Supposed to have the grounding switch on the
side of the mag.  I just couldn't help myself!
