Pully

I also have a pully question for a Super c or C tractor.My tractor came without a pully.I was able to acquire one at a reasonable price for an A.My question are they suppose to be enterchangeable?

The top attached lift bracket will not allow this pully to fit on. To use the pully must this be removed or is there a smaller diameter pully that fits this application?

THE BEST I CAN TELL YA IS THAT IN THE PARTS BOOKS ON THE A AND THE SUPER C THE PART NUMBERS ARE DIFFERENT ON THE PULLEY ASEMBLYS, WISH I COULD TELL YA MORE.

There were all different-size pulleys available for an A, from 6-1/2" diameter, going by inches all the way up to 10-1/2", with 8-1/2" being what you got if you didn't specify another size. That's what the Operator's Manual says. Looking in the Parts Catalog, though, all that are to be found are 8-1/2" and 10-1/2", no mention of the others.

For the SuperC, Operator's Manual lists only a standard 8-1/2" and an optional 7-1/2", but Parts Catalog lists those and a third one, 6-1/2" that is also slightly narrower.

Center splines were the same and so pulleys were interchangeable regardless of A/B/C model.

So maybe you've got a larger one and could find a smaller one. What bracket is interfering? Is this part of a Fast-Hitch, or has someone fitted a three-point hitch of some sort?

There is a upper retangular lift frame with a side lift bar attached to it.

For rear impliments I assume, but I do not know how it is used.

When I first held the pully near in line with the spline,there does not appear to be room with this device in place. With your email address,If interested I could email a picture.I do not understand how to attach it here.

Ron, I just pinged ya through the YT system.

Sorry Scotty,the IT system that you refer to in your post ,is this somewhere that I can post a picture for you to view?

No, that was Y(esterday's) T(ractors). I hit the send email link at the bottom of your post. If you gave them a good address, my message should be coming to you in your regular email. Then you can reply back to me with the picture attached as you suggested. If it turns out to be helpful, I can post the same picture back to the Farmall board if it might prove helpful (as it often does!) to get an opinion other than mine.

Hi Scottie,I posted a picture to the farmall photo forum of the rear lift assembly and pully area that I am referring to,a quick check when I first brought the pully home it appears to be too large to run with this lift assembly in place.The pully is off an A.My question: is there a proper pully for this application or should this lift assembly be removed to run the pully?

I don't know what that lift assembly is for, but it is not stock. The Super C did not come with any sort of rear lift mechanism. Any lift mechanisms would be specific to the implement, and would be removed when the implement was removed (e.g. when you were done plowing).

You will need to remove that lift assembly in order to install the pulley.

YELLOW WHEELS? It's not a Massey Harris.

Okay. Now we're gettin' somewhere.

Maybe somebody can identify what that beautifully painted lift is for. I have no idea. If you have the rest of the parts for it, they're important and you don't want to lose them.

If you don't, I can't imagine that I'd want to be cracking my knee on it as I climb onto the tractor or snagging my boot on the rod connecting it to the rockshaft arms on the Touch-Control and, if it were mine, I'd just take it off.

If you do have whatever it's intended to lift, then you have to decide how much you want to use or show that, as opposed to having a pulley on your belt drive.

Basic idea is that you can't always have everything, or sometimes even very many, or in the right combinations even two, of the things that were designed for these tractors on at the same time. In this case, they made a spacer for the end of the belt pulley drive for a reason -- i.e., for those times that you had to have the pulley off fro whatever reason but might need to use the PTO. To take it to a real basic level, something seemingly as basic as that dinky little swinging drawbar on a Super C was pretty much useless for towing a hayrake as long as you had an axle-mounted mower like a 21 or 24 bolted up. There were and still are compromises. I have PTO/pulleys on both my BN and my Super C. The one pulley (8-1/2") that I have sits on a shelf waiting for an occasion to slide it on the shaft and put it to use.

No it is not a Massey Harris.
This is the colour scheme the previous owner used when he restored the Farmall. Keeping it totally original was not his goal it seems.
I also received with the tractor two new 3 point lower lift arms. His intent must have been to install lower arms with vertical lift arms attached to this assembly is my guess.
The lower arms are stamped made in china so perhaps this was a whole aftermarket 3 point hitch attachment for this tractor made in China?
I will see him at our 1st Annual Apple Blossom Antique Tractor Pull and show May 31st and question him more about it.Thanks for your help!
