Farmall A problems

Posted by Chad from MI on June 16, 2004 at 05:34:16 from (152.72.252.244):

ok we have been having this problem for 2 summers now ever since we added a 60" mower deck to the 1940 Farmall A. It seems to get hot and wants to quit and then it wont start till it cools down. It will start to get hot and miss and doesn't run smooth and then sometimes after you stop and go to take off it will quit. Then you are dead in the water it wont start (hand cranker only) best case you can tow start it but not always. If it cools down or first starts it will fire up on the first crank 2 on a bad day. The radiator does gurgle after we shut it off like it is warm but I thought it was normal with a thermosyphon.
Ok Is it possible the Mag is bad and is getting hot and causing it to run bad? Could it be I still don't have the timing right and I have it to far advanced and it is getting hot? Could I still not have the valves set right? Maybe I should get a new radiator? Could a condensor be causing this?
It will fire right up and run but even after you run it for 5-10 minutes or so it will not start back up till you let it it. any ideas? My dad is ready to go buy a different mag for it but I do not think that is the problem????????

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
