I have 2 problems with my SM-TA. First, I had to take the radiator to a radiator shop to fix leaks. When I removed it from the tractor, I found that it didn't have the rubber (or some other material) pads between the radiator and the frame. My CaseIH dealer says they are no longer available. He suggested that I use a piece of round baler belt to make them. Does anyone know how thick and how big to make them? Second problem-- I washed some of the crud off the motor bewfore removing the radiator. Before starting the motor to move the tractor to the shed, I took off the distributor cap to dry up any possible moisture. I found tinges of oil inside near and around the points and condensor. Does this mean a seal is failing between the distributor and the live hyd pump? If so, how do I fix the leak? Thanks.

The seal on the hydraulic pump is replaceable. We just did one here not that long ago.

I would say that the seal is probably starten to seep and i guess that after fifty two years it needs replacing . If it is not to bad then maybe you can live with it for awhile .

Rubber belting is a good isolator. It is supposed to be about 1/4" to 5/16", be sure the steering shaft clears the hole in the rad.. That is the most important consideration. The horizontal sise is not critical just make sure it is covering the contact areas and a little more.

The oil in the points area is probably normal. THere is a felt wick that has point grease on it to lube the cam. Wipe it off and go on with life. THe distributor should be lubes twice a year by putting a zerk in the 1/8" pipe plug in the side of the distributor casting. If it has not been done, it needs it. Over greasing is possible, so are worn out bearings from no lube. I have seen both. The only way to find out is to pull the housing and look in the cavity, It is kinda wierd because there seems to be poor control of grease inside the housing, I lube them and pack extra grease in the housing to touch the shaft and forget it for the next fifty years.

Good luck it will serve you well. JimN

If you don't have belting you can use the sidewall from an old tire. Radials are about right, as they have thin sidewalls.

Actually oil ran out of the distributor. A neighbor has a 450 with a big oil leak into his distributor. I haven't heard how he fixed it.

If oil ran out, it is probably as Tractor Vet indicates and needs a Hydraulic pump seal. If it continues, it may get worse all of a sudden, if it is livable (as TV says) it won't hurt anything. JimN
