Hello . I have been on the ford n series page for a few years now however today I acquired a farmall A from a friend who is losing his storage space . The A has sat for about 20 years now but at least it has been kept in a dry garage . Looking forward to being a part of this forum in the future .
The serial is FAA 328046 but I can't find what year it is based on the chart on this website. Any ideas?
Thankyou . Brian

As i would say with any engine one that has sat that long it is a very good idea to fill the cylinders with ATF and let it sit a week or so so as to free up rings etc
 
I'm working on my grandfather's SMTA which I think has sat for almost 20 years, thankfully in a barn. The first and most obvious problem I have is the fuel system is pure sticky gum. Its in the tank, the fuel bowl, the feed tube and the carb. 5 gallons of terrible stinky orange "formerly known as gasoline" I pulled out. I would recommend getting some cans of non chlorinated brake cleaner and one of those gallon "paint cans" of carb cleaner.
 
Welcome !! The guys here, much like on
the ford page, are great. A picture is
worth a thousand words if you can upload
one. From the sounds of it you may have a
Super A, does it have hydraulics? You can
check the casting codes to see when they
were produced. I have one myself with no
serial number so the casting codes told me
1949-50, Regular A weren't built after
1947. A picture would help. Welcome to
the Red side !!
 
I'd go to the casting codes on the block and tube, there is a number cast in the right side of the block behind the plug wires and somewhere near the seat on the right side of the transmission tube. It will be 2 numbers and a letter separated by what looks likes screw heads, it will look like 3*21*G that will give you casting dates, I can help you if you get those numbers,
 
I found the casting # on the side of the tranny tube. 3 - 20 - X
Hope that helps
Brian

Sweet buddy, you have a 1952 Super A, get
the manuals, operator service and parts, I
get them from eBay about $60 For them all
and get to it, have fun with it as keep us
up to date !! -anthony
 
As general advice, many people seem to think the principles of how an engine runs changes with paint color. If you've troubleshooted engine problems on an N series tractor you can do it on a Farmall. Things might be in slightly different locations, but a distributor is a distributor, a carburetor is a carburetor, a fuel tank is a fuel tank, spark plugs are spark plugs, etc..

Above all, have fun.
