Howdy Y'all!
Thought I would look through here to see if I could cruise the posts and get some answers for my '53-A, which is 7 years older'n me, but so far no luck. I have a couple of ongoing issues with my faded pink girl and I am hoping some of youse guys or gals could hep a suburban turned rural techno-geek out with his old new tractor. First: It came from Arkansas (land of me pappy) and a friend of the owner from whom I bought it brought it out here to central Texas. I rebuilt the carburator recently and got the beast up and running, but she doesn't hold steady or always seem to want the choke in the same position to keep running. I have the International Harvester Manual (I think it's IT-8) for the A,SuperA, etc... and it only talks about special IH built carbs and I have a Marvel-Schebler. I got a rebuild kit from a place called the Carburetor Refactory in Rich, CA and the parts diagram with that helped a bit, especially when relating it to the IH manual one sentence blurb about throttle and idle speed adjustments. SO, with the many years I have had playing with hi-tech electronics and electro-mechanics, these machines appear to be too simple for me to fix (I'm probably really just not that experienced with tractors-- you think?) That's problem numero uno. Nummer zwei, is my PTO shaft will not hold a load. I have removed it from the tractor 3x and checked all that I can see to check with the manual and my eyeballs working together. I called a guy locally who told me there must have been a woodruff (half-moon) key that sheared on the shaft. If this is so, I am sure that I can find and fix that as long as I know I can get the right sized key. So the 2nd point of assistance I would like is if anyone out there knows the proper sized key for that and where I might come across such a thing?

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
