Farmall Auxiliary Hydraulic Valve for Super A

I called the local IH/case Dealer to try to get information on the auxiliary valve on a Super A I am trying to sell. I had printed the parts page and had the number of the valve but the counter person insisted Farmall never made such a thing and you could not put a remote hydraulic cylinder on a Super A. Kinda makes me wonder what else I know is wrong.

I was just wondering what a value would be on this thing. I have heard a few different things. I just posted it in Parts and I'll see what it brings.

I would guess that your remote valve might be made by Charlynn?

I also think maybe that parts man had not had enough coffee? If you can't put a remote cylinder on a super A, what is the point of even having a hydraulic pump?
 
I don't know who made it but there is a parts number for the complete valve. It is in the latest computer parts listing but is shown as "retired".

I guess you are only supposed to lift the cultivators with the hydraulics.

My brother bought this tractor and brought it to NC from Colorado. I don't think the valve has ever been used. But it looks good.
 
I dug out my paper copy of the parts book for Farmall Super A (TC-39) and sure enough there it is on page 242. Remote Control (special) Auxiliary Control Valve, Lever, Rod and Manifold tube.

I grew up in NC raising tobacco and all we knew was to cultivate with these tractors. We also used C and Super C tractors with 2 and 4 row cultivators to plow soy beans. We would plow tobacco and move irrigation pipes during the day and plow beans into the night. We had some rows on one farm that were about a mile long. You could go to sleep about 11PM and plow up half a mile of beans.

Not seeing any more of these means my tractor is rare. I can put it on ebay and retire.
 
We had a 140 that had that valve on it, we had a Hydro-creeper on the tractor, and that valve ran the hydro creeper. If I remember correctly, we had to remove the hydro creeper and the valve to use the tractor for other implements, usually cultivators etc. At least I remember getting a bath with hydraulic fluid every year removing the hoses, a little less bath every year. The tractor, hydro-creeper and everything else pertaining to the tractor came directly from the IH dealer. Always assumed it was all IH stuff
 
What's the point of having a hydraulic pump if not to run a remote cylinder?

How about, to run the Touch Control rockshaft arms?

That was the primary purpose of the hydraulic system on the Super A, C, and Super C up until about 1953. Everything the tractor could do at the time involved a mounted implement lifted and dropped by the Touch Control. Hydraulic cylinders on trailing implements involved the bigger tractors.

The valve IS and IH part. You just got a clueless parts guy is all.

I don't think the valve was originally used for remote cylinders. I think it first appeared on the 1953 Super C to control the Fast Hitch. When cylinders on trailing implements became more common someone figured out that they already had the parts to add that capability to the Super A.
 
The valve was around before the fast-hitch. It is described in the Super A owners manual. They show it operating a universal cylinder on pull-type implements like a disc harrow. If you take it off, you will need new manifold lines to the pump. The lines are different with the valve installed.
 
Daniel, check the back cover of your manual for the publishing date. I know my manual has the same information, but it is a late 1953 printing.
