I have a old Farmall Super A that I use to work our three acre garden. I only paid $1,500.00 for the old trator, and cultivators. I'm going to get to the point, I need to change my hydralic fluid, because I never have since i had it. I have heard that you have to bleed the air out of the hydralic system, but I don't know how, so I would like some help to find out where the bleeders are.

I have changed it with no problems. Operator's manual says to fill it to the reservoir opening, leave the filler plug out, start the tractor, and work the levers back and forth 10 or 12 times through their full range of travel, leave them in the rear position, shut off the tractor, add fluid to the bottom of the filler opening and replace the plug (world's longest sentence). It works. Clean the strainer while you are at it. If you think the system needs flushing, use the same fluid you normally use. Hytran or equivalent. Before you do all this it also says to "run the engine very briefly to drain the fluid from the pump and lines", AFTER you have drained the reservoir. I sure wouldn't run it more than a few seconds or less, or you will get a fried pump.

I have a Super A and so far as I know there are no bleeders. When changing the fluid all I have done is drain the old fluid out through the plug near the bottom on the left hand side and refilled it through the larger plug above it. It is refilled to the level of that upper plug. You may want to remove and clean the filter (secured by four bolts to the left of the drain plug). According to the manual (from memory) you are supposed to have both control levers at there rear extreme before shutting the tractor down to do a fluid change. You may want to open the upper plug first in case there is any pressure built up as it is an unvented system. As far as bleeding goes, what I've been told (and done) is just fire it up and work the levers back and forth. Hope this helps. SAm in NS
