[AT] Quiet

Not very much.  You need to remove the tubes that run from the pump back to the main Touch-Control unit.  The back uses a gasket and the front 2 o-rings.  You may need to remove the starter pull rod and/or a Touch-Control control rod, but they are no big deal.  Once the tubes are off, the pump has 4 bolts going through it.  Two hold the pump on, the other two hold it together, can’t say which is which.  Pull one bolt.  If it is too short to reach clear through the pump, put it back and pull the pair next to it.

Some Cub pumps have a seal while others have an o-ring.  As far as I know, the Super A all had a seal.  If a seal, it can probably be popped out with the pump assembled.  An o-ring requires pump disassembly.  Case-IH probably has a pump “kit” with all the o-rings needed to do the pump.  Get the number off the pump as there may be different brands with different seals.

As with all hydraulics, keep everything clean.

Thanks Jim, that would make sense. What do I need to pull off to get access to that?  

Meanwhile I guess I ought to see if I can get one of the Cub Cadets running so I have something to mow with until I either get around to dealing with this or convince Cory to do it for me. I have a 105 with a mower deck down in the barn that ran fine when parked (10 years ago probably). Shouldn't take too much more than cleaning the carb and removing dirt dauber nests. Unless the tires have rotted.

  You will no  doubt find the missing hydraulic fluid in the engine.  The problem will be the seal on the input shaft of the pump.  If the shaft isn’t badly worn, it is a fairly easy fix.

  Probably a leak. They've been a bit slow responding for a while, then, it'd be low on fluid but would work when I topped it off, but now it seems to have an infinite capacity for hy-tran and no amount of adding it seems to get anything to happen. Not sure if it's leaking into the tranny or where - there's none on the ground. Need to find time to look at it before mowing season comes along.

      Hi Phil, good to hear from you too. It's about like that around here, the only thing that still runs is the Super A I use for mowing and stuff. And the hydraulics have gone flaky on it. I saw Norris at the Temple Show this fall but otherwise haven't been in touch with anyone else.

        Hi, T.W. Glad to see that you're still around! Hard to believe that Cory is 29.
        Time seems to get away faster than it used to. Did you ever get that M-D
        up and running? Seems like all of my "projects"are on the back burner as well.
        My A-CB is locked up tighter than Dick's hatband, the A-C RC needs a water
        pump and the Farmalls (M and Cub) both need batteries and there's not any
        free money right now. :o(

        Farmer, hang in there. I think if you were to soak that recliner in diesel for a few days it'd sort out the problems with it.  

        Nice to hear from all of y'all - it has been a while. Trying to thin the herd a bit, too many projects that'll never get done. The Regular I never got around to dealing with found a new home last week. My son Cory, now 29, got his start doing mechanic work helping me restore my grandfather's Farmall H back when he was 8. He works for a construction materials company now, does mechanic work on the side. A couple of weeks ago someone brought an H over for him to fix up and get running. He had fun with it, got it running great and sent it on its way.

          I've lost a lot of time this winter... I started feeling bad about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving which was annoying because I just had a physical in October.
          Not real specific symptoms, just "unwell". Sometimes badly short of breath sometimes not. Long periods of brain fog... I would feel bad for a couple of weeks then feel better for a few days then back to feeling bad. Gave up and made an appointment with our GP a few weeks ago and started feeling better the day before the appointment (funny how that works). After another physical and an office EKG, a hospital nuclear stress test and a 48 hour Holter EKG it appears that I may have been feeling bad...  (shrug)  I have an early March appointment with my cardiologist, just a general thing... 
          On the upside I have felt better ever since I first made the appointment.  :-)

          I got thinking about it and I am suspicious of a new recliner I bought about a week before I started feeling bad. Like two thirds of what we buy now it was made in China. I started looking on line and it seems that China is supposedly using a lot of very strange concoctions  for fumigation at points of export that nobody really knows for sure what is in them. I saw claims that they apparently are among other things inserting little packets of some toxic waste byproduct into some leather upholstered furniture to prevent mold during shipping. This chair isn't leather but a lot of folks are claiming that their Chinese furniture is making them ill. I also saw references to US customs often using methyl bromide on this end to fumigate containers where they find bugs. I take all of this with a grain of salt but I did recall this chair having a strange smell when we opened the plastic bags. We also had not taken the chair that was on display since it seemed a bit "shop-worn" so we took one still sealed in bags in the box. Maybe we should have opened it and hauled it around in the back of the truck for a few days...  :-)
