Snow plow problems with Farmall A

Posted by Brian Fudge on February 19, 2003 at 11:58:02 from (64.215.145.30):

I've got a 42 Farmall A with a pneumatic lift all to lift my snow plow blade. In our last storm the lift all died, leaving my wife and I to shovel the 2ft of snow! It appears that the exhaust gasses are leaking at the divertion point on the exhaust. There is no pressure building up in the cylinder and I've checked all connections and lines. I can't get it apart right now since the screws holding it together on the exhaust are stripped. is there a gasket in there that could be the problem or is there a linkage that just needs to be adjusted? I'd love to know before I go through the trouble to drill the screws out.

The tractor also seems to have problems managing my driveway which is quite steep. It came with v-bar chains which are just shredding my asphault. I have wheel weights and 400lbs on the back. Are regular chains easier on the driveway? Since I use the tractor as a mower in the summer, would turf tires with regular chains work better. My chains seem to fall in the treads now.

Thanks!

Brian
