[Farmall] drawbar bolts

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

I asked dad about the throwout bearing. He doesn't think the Super A ever 
used it but that the straight A did. One of those things we'd just have to 
check the parts book to know for sure. He did mention he's heard negative 
comments about the ball type throwout bearings in Cubs. He quickly commented 
the graphite ones last a long time if folks keep them greased!

I am not crazy about the graphite block throwout bearing, but my
original lasted 45 years, so I guess that is not too bad.  Trick to
keeping them going is to make sure they get greased, if you buy
aftermarket ones soak them in oil a few days before installing (IH ones
are already soaked), and keep the pressure plate fingers adjusted
evenly, not to mention not riding the clutch.  VW, and a few other
manufacuteres used the same setup.  didn't the B, and A also have the
same thing, maybe the Super A also?
