Owning 11 of the old Farmalls I always read threads here related to my models because you never know when someone else's problem is now my problem. Happened on my A this spring. There was a tread recently
about adjusting the bumper adjustment on a A governor because it was hunting as the I &T manual calls it and also mentioned the spring could be broken. Turns out my A was doing the same thing this spring when
I get it running from sitting over the winter. I tried adjusting the bumper adjustment and nothing changed. I took out the adjuster and the last couple of coils of spring fell out. The remainder was glued into
the adjuster. Obviously I ordered a new spring. Maybe I would have come to this point on my own but having read it here first was a big help. There is no way to put a value on sites like this if you own any of
the old tractors but aren't a trained mechanic on them.
 
I agree completely. The guy that I knew in person that use to work at an IHC dealership back in the 50's and 60's is no longer around. And guys like that are getting harder to find in everyday life. And it sure is nice to find some guys on here that know what they are talking about. I try to help people on here if I can. But even I post questions on here from time to time.
 
My dad work in the IH shop from 1960- 1985. I think he worked on just about anything IH made with the exception of the cotton and some special equipment. Even a week before he passed away he was telling me how to fix my H . Guys like him could stand back and figure it out and fix it. AND A TON of knowledge died with him when God called him home. Miss him like crazy..........Kenny
 
My greatest help came from Gordon Rice of Rice Equipment in Penn. Gordon could always help with your problem and tell you what you needed to fix it!
