Posted by New Super A Man on July 12, 2003 at 20:47:05 from (12.26.122.3):
I just bought my first tractor, a 1952 Farmall Super A. It was not exactly what I was looking for, because I was a little leery of the off set design (the only other tractor I've really ran is an old TO20 Ferguson) but I couldn't pass it up for the money. After bringing it home, I'm getting pretty attached to it, and am glad that I bought it. Also found out that my great grandfater (who I never got to meet) had a '48 super A, when he farmed years ago, so that kind of made it special for me too. But anyway, the important part of my post. Today when I went out to start her up, she wouldn't turn over at first. First I checked the battery out with the multimeter, to make sure it wasn't dead, and I had current at the starter. (still old 6 volt positive ground) That checked out fine, voltage at the battery and starter. I thought maybe the starter was stuck, so I banged on the the housing a little, no change. Looked at the ammeter, showing a current draw when I tried to start her. So I decided I'd try to roll start her. Couldn't get up enough speed to get the engine turning enough to crank. But after a couple tries at that I tried the starter again and she fired right up. I choked it out later and starter worked again. When I put her up for the day, I tried to start it back up just to see, and same thing all over. So after all this writing, my real question is, Do anyone think that maybe there is a bad place in the brushes or armiture? Should I take the starter off and get it rebuilt? Any help would be great, Do y'all think I might be on the right track, or way off base?
Thanks,
Kevin

Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
