Just got an A and want to get a parts/operators manual, but the serial # tag is missing from the tractor. I was told it was a 1944. Can anyone help me identify it?

Also a few more questions: There are 2 gas tanks, a small one and the main one, why? And on the rear lift, there are 2 foot pedals, are they used to actuate the lift? If so mine is not lifting when I depsress the pedals.

I have pictures of the tractor to e-mail

Any help is appreciated

Dave

Well, after looking at the pictures, I can tell you it is POSITIVELY NOT a 1944. 44's have a cast frame with pressure cooling. You have neither. How many holes are in that seat?

The frame for the drawbar was used on late 46 and 47 early styled A's only. It is the same one used on all the late styled A's But, you have too many holes in the seat for 46 and 47. You should have a 5 hole seat for those years. But the pictures look like more holes than that. I see that you have a side hill hitch on the tractor. I have a feeling that the drawbar was changed once in its life. But not positive. That is all I can come up with right now. Keep me informed.

thanks very muh for the insight

I will check the seat, and see how many holes it has, but I think it is more than 5

The same dealer parts book covers all the styled tractors, with that you can almost pinpoint the year and get the correct serial no range to get your operators mamual

I will begin by relaying to you what little I know until others can really give you the scoop. What you have there is an "all fuel" model which had a small tank for gasoline that was used to START the tractor and get it warm enough to burn the less expensive "tractor fuel" which was kind of like what we used to call "stove oil". The floor pedals are for the up-down operation of the rockshaft. One stomp on the pedal raised the cultivator....one stomp let it drop by gravity. The speed of drop is controlled by a set screw on the hydraulic valve assembly. Of course the PTO has to be turning before any hydraulic action can take place. You can further identify the tractor by what kind of seat and shift it has, but others are much more skilled in those issues. All I really know about is the 1941 AW "all fuel" that I grew up on and the 1952 A we now have. Those two tractors are day and night different in so many ways. Our '41 had the floor pedals for the rockshaft just like yours does.

Thanks for the reply

I will send a few pics to you, maybe this will shed some light

Is the all fuel more valuable? Is it possible I stumbled into a good deal?

Send me some pictures.

A 44 A will have pressure cooling and a cast iron front frame.

A 44 A is an early styled tractor. All early styled A's are all-fuel. So no, it is not more valuable.
