Can anyone tell me if a Farmall A has core plugs at the rear of the engine behind the flywheel.You probably guessed it My recently purchased A is leaking antifreeze at the back it is dripping from the bell housing. Thanks for any help.

I dragged home an A that hadn"t run for many years. Once I had it sandblasted, primed, painted and reassembled we fired it up and it leaked everywhere. It leaked oil from the front of the motor, antifreeze from the front of the thermosyphon, and anti freeze from the clutch access hole which I assume was a rear soft plug. After gently running it bringing it up to full temp several times and then running it hard and hot all of these leaks stopped. I was very nervous when I saw all of these leaks but my "old timer" friend from the next farm up said don"t worry, they should all stop once you run it. Lots of the old seals must have dried out then expanded once brought back to life. He was dead on....hope you have the same experience.

We use this trator daily, it went through grape harvest and never missed a beat, it run great.

Good Luck

I know I will be scolded, but if it ain't leaking very bad, you can put a can of fine ground black pepper in the radiator and it will likely stop the leak. I done this to my SC in 1997 and it hasn't leaked another drop since. Runs fine with no problems at all.

There are two plugs in the back of the block, behind the flywheel. The one on the left as you look at the rear of the engine is the only one that can leak coolant, the one on the right is at the cam, if it leaks, it will leak oil.

You have to pull the engine and remove the flywheel to get to them.

There are two freeze plugs back there. One at the end of the cam (1-5/8") and another to the water jacket (2") just above and to the left of the cam plug, as you look at them from the rear.
