[AT] An update on the Super A and a question.

[Ben Wagner]

Hello,

Thanks for all the replies on my BN parts.  I have drastically lowered 
my prices.  Would my engine block with the BN serial number be worth 
more because of that serial number?  Know anyone who needs a BN block?

A big thank you to everyone who answered my questions on restoring the 
1948 Super A.  It started, after some timing issues, and runs great.  
This list has been a great resource for all my questions which seemed 
"unanswerable."

While driving my Super A the other day checking all the systems, I 
noticed a low knock in the final drive.  We marked the tire, and the 
results showed the knock occurs once per revolution.   The tractor does 
not jolt when the knock occurs.  I wondered if a gear is missing a 
tooth, or a tooth is chipped.  Is this solution correct, and if the gear 
is chipped/cracked/missing a tooth what should I do?  If I need to 
replace the gear, where could I purchase one?

I hope it is nothing serious... but I have been told to be concerned 
about any unusual sounds around the gears.

Thanks,
Ben Wagner
