My super A has the adjustable front end but the pin holes on the outer portion seem to be elongated in several of the inner positions. what have others out there done to restore this to the proper strait up and down position. I do not like it when the vertical part of the spindle pitchs back and am concerned about doing more damage to the front end. I thought of welding the holes, grinding and redrilling but I believe these are cast and that is hard enough to weld without the additional stress, my second thought is to run a bushing completely through the thing. Any help would be much appreciated. I guess whoever has this tractor in the past drove it like they were in NASCAR, not real good for the equipment.

Mark:

I had the same problem on my 140, the holes in both sections (inner and outer) got elongated and the pins were worn as well.

I welded the edges of the holes and ground them out so they were round. With new pins, the axle is nice and tight. This is not a difficult job to do yourself.

Replacing the inner axle won't really fix the problem if the outer axle is worn as well. It will still shift forward and back.

Good luck.

Mark,

I think what you have is common. I have seen several Super A's as well as 140's with that problem. The ones I have seen have always wore on the right side and I suspect its from being down in the furrows and thus getting rougher use. Or maybe its that it lighter on that side and that causes the wear.

On the Super A I restored the right one was welded. I left it that way because its the way my father had it. It isnt a pretty weld and now you can't adjust it.

My cousins 140 is loose but so far he has been able to tighten the clamps down more and take care of it, that wont last tho.

I like your idea of the bushing but then your going to have to drill the holes even bigger. I would try welding the hole up and redrilling first. See how that goes and if that dont work you can always do the bushing.

I believe the axle itself is forged, not cast, I could be wrong. Whether you can weld it or not depends on your skill. I do not weld so I can't offer an opinion, but I have taken stuff to professional welders, that after they did it, it did not even show the weld. In your case, it might be better to find a salvage axle, though.
