Posted by 1941 farmall a boy on February 04, 2007 at 21:06:35 from (216.98.171.91):
I'm 18 and just bought my first tractor, a 1941 Farmall A. It's been sitting for about 15 years up in the Ozarks in Arkansas and after finally getting it hauled home I'm still trying to soak the Pistons to get them loose. At this time I'm trying a mixture of transmission fluid and diesel fuel. It's trying to come through on the front and rear but those two middle pistons haven't budged yet. They are in the down position. Anyone have a better formula? I paid $200 for the tractor, built barbed wire fence for the money. Need lots of good hints, tips and help to get my "A" running without me having to build fence for money for parts and supplies til I'm 50. Start my first real job in March but need that money to finish restoring my 1971 Ford truck (at least it runs ). Guess I almost have too many projects. Does anyone know of good places in Arkansas to find parts? Appreciate all of your help.
