Hello, just inherited a ‘50 super a, got the dust cleaned off and starting some maintenance. Im sure the info i need is more or less archived here. And confident the hive mind will help with tips and tricks.

I guess ill have to find somewhere to host images…

Thanks for having me.

Welcome to the Forum!

Welcome to the forum.

Can everyone see this?

I can, nice Super A!!

Thanks. Ive found pdf’s for the a’s, but still hunting for the hydraulics info. This was my great aunts husbands, i inheireted it because she was moving, and he told her she couldnt ‘sell it to another man’. I’d been out cleaning her property while my grandma lived out there for the last 10 years, and ive never seen it run, so its due for maintenance. The tires hold air, but gonna change the fluids before i start it. Anyone have expierience coating gas tanks? Or should i start a thread in the ‘a’ section?

Also, i’m interested in all trivia and info relating to understanding what i have. This is my first real tractor, and i’d like to do everything right about it.

If you start a new thread you'll get more views and replies.

welcome, it looks like some one already spent a bunch of time and $$$ on it, looks like a good one, post a new thread for questions on the farmall A thread, unless its been converted remember this is a 6 volt positive ground system when you put a battery in it

Welcome to the forum Sir.
Good luck with your project and Enjoy Your Ride.

This Blue Ribbon Service Manual covers the hydraulics for both the Cub & Super A.

As they said, start a new thread if you have specific problems, such as with the Touch Control (hydraulics).

Welcome!

Guys here can tell you a whole lot about that model. But you need to be more specific with questions.

For the questions you don't know to ask, get and read the Owner's Manual that IH published.

Here's the OWNER'S Manual:

As Jim advised, read through the manual...there is a lot of good info in there, and a section on servicing with a Lubrication Chart.

And here is the PARTS Catalog:

Thanks!
