[Farmall] Looking for Super A contacts/parts sources/advice, etc

[Barney Van De Weert]

I have a 41 A that I redid, what I can tell you about old tractors is that 
more patience you have the cheaper things may get- I attended Red Power Round Up 
in La Porte and found that you can get very low priced parts w-o any shipping 
charges. 


OEM Parts I thought was pretty good at this Show but more $s in real life. I 
bought a new steering wheel for my H for $35.00. I wish I had bought a grommet 
for the bottom of the electrical box for 1.50, remember the shipping? I can find 
them for about the same price but the shipping is 5.00. 


Value Built seems to be a little higher priced etc.

I have a Case-IH Dealer that I have had as a business account that treats me 
well on parts and does so pretty well here again get a list together and see 
what they can do. When you get in your area there where tons of these tractors 
sold for the tobacco industry so there has to be Dealers that still support 
them. I still run into alot of these in SOH as well as WV

The 41 A is a really fun tractor, mine has alot of extras as well as a Monroe 
suspension seat similar to the Hs + Ms, I now wish we had one at home on the 
farm, my 16 year old daughter likes to drive it, she also asked if I would give 
it to her when I die- I'm glad she will have something to remember me by, she'll 
probably plant flowers in the toolbox.

Dale;
It's been said here before, head to Binder Books for the literature. I 
flipped over and looked. They have the service manuals, Parts lists, ptetty 
much anything you would need for research.  Jensales might also have them 
but I have found that the reproduction quality is better with Binder.
Thats the place to start.
