[AT] "After Tractor is running" questions.

  Just so you know, I am not familiar with Farmall Super A's working 
like they are supposed to.

That being said in the open now, I will show you a couple of 
observations that I have seen while driving the Super A.  What I need to 
know is whether these are normal or abnormal and what is wrong if they 
are abnormal.

1- When I work the hydraulics, engine full throttle, the tractor acts 
like I have overloaded the engine.  It struggles and gasps.  I was 
wondering if this was related to the air that was trapped in the lines 
(stupid mistake that I did) or maybe something else.  Maybe this is a 
normal phenomenon, but I am seriously wondering if, since the engine 
struggles moving the hydraulics when the hydraulics are not loaded, the 
tractor will be able to lift the snowblade.  Speaking of snowblades, I 
have some questions about it too, but I will send them a little later 
after I fiddle with the snowblade itself.

2- When the lights are one, what should the ammeter say?  My ammeter 
shows full discharge.  Does this mean the battery is running the 
lights?  The generator does charge the battery, so I know it works.

3- I have to hold the throttle lever to keep the engine in full 
throttle, otherwise the lever returns to about a high idle.  I hesitate 
to ask this, because I am thinking this is a result of the worn teeth of 
the quadrant, but I want to make sure something isn't adjusted wrong.

Thanks for your help.
