This is another one of those "long winter day" musings....when a man has little else to do.
I first thought I"d try to find a small diesel offset with hi/lo range...but everybody says they are crap....not to mention way overpriced.
It won"t be long before it"ll be time to dust off the SA and go back to gardening and I am so pi$$ed with the high speed for early cultivating work.
While doing some research, I learned that Farmall used a different type of clutch bearing and I am sure that mine does not have that. Evidently operating with the clutch depressed over extended times is hard on the standard (graphite?) bearing.
Hydraulic motors are easy to procure...but knowing which one to choose becomes an issue for me. Furthermore....tapping into the hydraulic system and affixing the proper controls is another spider web for me.
What might be neat is if a man could figure out how to convert to pure hydrostatic by gutting the transmission and installing a pump off the crank and a hydro motor to the rearend. Yeah....it"d be a Rube Goldberg at best.......but it just might work. I use my SA solely for cultivating......all other chores goes to the big tractor.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
