Thanks to all the readers of this forum, I now have my 1942 Farmall A running. Even though I drained the transmission and both final drives and put in 5 quarts in the transmission and 1 1/2 quarts in each final drive of 140 transmission oil, there is a lot of noise coming from the transmission. I don't know the history of this tractor but do know that it didn't have any oil in the transmission when I received it. What are some causes of transmission noise, and what can be done about it? Would putting STP oil treatment or Slick in the transmission quiet it down? I am going on a tractor tour in a week and it is a little embarrassing to have a noisy transmission.

The A like so many other tractors of that vintage has straight cut gears and they are by nature very noisy. In later years everybody went to bevel cut gears which are quiet. This is why you can't shift on the go with out grinding gears. The use of expensive other oil/grease is a waist of money in this case.

However since you say your trasmission was dry when you first checked it you might have someone who is knowledgable about an A to listen to yours

There could be a reason it didn't have any oil in the back end.... Noises from the gearbox are usually bad bearings or gears. If the noise is just a bad bearing, it is not that hard to fix. I put all new bearings and seals in my H in under a week. Re-replacing the pilot bearing took less than a day. A bad gear, is more expensive and harder to get. If you make the effort to fix it, people on this forum will offer advice on repairs and/or parts.

I got plenty of gears if you need some!
