Sunday I snaked out a friends Super MTA from his shed, not telling him. It was up against the back wall behind some equipment including Allis Chalmers tractors. Last evening we pushed it in the shed; removed a badly corroded, dead battery and box; cleaned the plugs; then put a temporary positive ground cable on. He pulled the switch, choked it and off it ran after sitting idle for six to seven years......amazing!
Added a lot of coolant and an oil-filter change will be in order. We pulled it backwards a tractor length to free a stuck clutch and it was then under its own power.
The old girl is really dirty and oily but, with a hot shower, it is going to a tractor show this Friday to Sunday in it's work clothes. I'm gonna take a dirty, then clean photo of her. Straight sheet metal, fenders, good tires, rear weights, lights, working gauges, a 'U' shaped drawbar and a rain cap that dances...what more could we ask for!
A new positive cable is needed and we measured out the front of the box, down and back to the lower left-rear corner of the box ~ 38" - 40". This a.m. peeking at Tractordata dot com I saw a photo that showed the cable coming out the top left side of the box, a few inches from the rear and running down to the same bolt. Could someone please verify the correct route for the ground cable? Someone on his has taken a torch and cut a hole out the left rear side of the box, tain't correct at all. I 'tink' I am seeing the rear work-tail light mounted from possibly the top, right rear corner of the battery box??? This tractor's rear light was attached by a make shift bracket to the lower right rear corner of the box.

Today's Featured Article - Two-Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. Whether for product liability or because the aftermarket parts and labor business is lucrative, this concept is disturbingly prevalent. Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
