Well, I bought my Grandpa's Super A back today. I looked at the Serial # on the tractor and shows it is a 1948 model. In the manual Grandpa wrote he bought it in April of 1970 for $1,185. It has a Woods L59 Belly mower on it still, rear wheel weights, along with front wheel weights.
My questions are:
1 - Where is the best place to buy a new muffler? I will attach a picture of the muffler as the clamp has slid down and came in contact with the hood and turned it black a little. In the picture you can see the muffler has the part # and IH logo in it. Would the dealer still have this muffler or would it be the same thing I could buy from one of the various companies that re-make parts for these?
2 - I am wanting to add a water pump to it as well. Same thing with that...am I better going to the dealer, or just buying one from a company making parts for these, or lastly finding a used on on ebay/auction and putting it on. I see if I went that route there is a rebuild kit you can buy as well.
3 - Driving it home, there is some play in the steering box. Would say anywhere from a quarter of a turn to half a turn. That is probably normal on these? Is there a way to tighten that up or just live with it? Once in awhile the front wheels will sway side to side a bit when your not moving the wheel, I am hoping there is a way to adjust and tighten up the front end or is this play in the gear box itself?
Thanks for any answers or recommendations. It will do some mowing again now that it's back to the farm and pulling around small implements around the farm yard. It was always really handy for backing in the disk into the shed in tight spaces.
