Sunday I snaked out a friends Super MTA from his shed, not telling him. It was up against the back wall behind some equipment including Allis Chalmers tractors. Last evening we pushed it in the shed; removed a badly corroded, dead battery and box; cleaned the plugs; then put a temporary positive ground cable on. He pulled the switch, choked it and off it ran after sitting idle for six to seven years......amazing!
Added a lot of coolant and an oil-filter change will be in order. We pulled it backwards a tractor length to free a stuck clutch and it was then under its own power.
The old girl is really dirty and oily but, with a hot shower, it is going to a tractor show this Friday to Sunday in it's work clothes. I'm gonna take a dirty, then clean photo of her. Straight sheet metal, fenders, good tires, rear weights, lights, working gauges, a 'U' shaped drawbar and a rain cap that dances...what more could we ask for!
A new positive cable is needed and we measured out the front of the box, down and back to the lower left-rear corner of the box ~ 38" - 40". This a.m. peeking at Tractordata dot com I saw a photo that showed the cable coming out the top left side of the box, a few inches from the rear and running down to the same bolt. Could someone please verify the correct route for the ground cable? Someone on his has taken a torch and cut a hole out the left rear side of the box, tain't correct at all. I 'tink' I am seeing the rear work-tail light mounted from possibly the top, right rear corner of the battery box??? This tractor's rear light was attached by a make shift bracket to the lower right rear corner of the box.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
