Re: New Farmall Super A owner
Hi,
The Super A operator's manual can help you learn about maintenance that the Super A needs.
Below is the Super A operator's manual. The experts on here recommend people read it. It has lots of info about operation, maintenance, and lubrication. There is an index beginning on page 74.
It shows how the Super A originally looked in it. The lube section begins on page 20.
https://farmallcub.com/rudi_cub/www.cle ... index.html
The 10 weight motor oil mentioned in the manual for the Touch Control was changed later to Case IH Hy-Tran fluid. It is sold at Case IH dealers.
There are other brands, be sure it works with IH hydraulic systems before buying one.
The manual tells how to check and change the Touch Control fluid, and remove the air from the system, on page 56.
Be sure to check the fluid with the arms in the rear, or down position, the manual says.
I would check or change all the oils before using the Super A, using it with low oil in a gear housing can damage the parts in the housing.
There are 3 separate gear housings, with 3 separate oil levels to check, in the rear area of a Super A, the transmission, and 2 final drives.
The air cleaner is an oil bath air cleaner. Dirt that is sucked in settles to the bottom of the oil cup. It should have clean, light motor oil in the oil cup to work right.
On page 34 it tells how to oil the fan hub, something often not checked, people on here have said.
They can get low if nobody checks them, then the fan bearing can wear, or the fan can seize up.
You can use a pump oil can to put clean, light motor oil in the hub.
Be careful to not lose the small gasket that should be on the oil filler screw, it might be stuck on the hub.
Something sometimes not greased as often as it should be is the clutch throwout bearing.
It tells how on pages 24 and 26.
You have to remove the hand hole cover under the clutch area, and the grease fitting is inside the housing.
You probably need a light to see it, and have the Super A in a building, so you aren't looking up at the bright sky.
Other manuals can be found at the top of the page at Quick links, then go to PDF Manuals,
or at Cub Info, then go to Rudi's Manuals.
There is a search box at the top of the page, to the right of the Farmall Cub, you can find info in posts that have been made.
