HOW TO HOOK-UP STARTER ROD FARMALL A

8nsyes · Mar 18, 2015

Hello;

My Farmall A does not have a starter rod. If I can find a rod, how does it hook up to the switch? Really new here (just about ignorant) on Farmall. All of your help is greatly appreciated.
regards!

Here are photos of areas that I need your help on with my Farmall A. Here the photos show the starter area, alternator, distributor area, post where any switches may go from the driver's seat. I'm not sure if I have a 6 or 12 volt set-up???Not sure about the distributor (magneto?) situation. You guys have a "green one" on your hands for sure but I'm most willing to learn
Thanks for the help!

You are missing 2 parts of the push rod and starter lever that is what pushes the switch down. You have a distributor wit ha ballast resister and also have a Delco 10si alternator making ti a 12 volt negative ground system.

Thanks for the information you supplied. I copied it and will begin a folder on it. I'm "making book" and starting to figure out what parts I need for it before I even begin the projest.

I made the last one that I needed, but I had one on another tractor to use as a pattern.

I'll have to go out tomorrow and look at my Super A, but I think the "push switch" on top of the starter is mounted backwards. Old is right, it looks like you are missing two parts. jal-SD

Jal-SD;
Thank you for checking that out and keeping me informed.

So do you want the original or a longer one to push with your hand. Your tractor came without starter and used a pull sw to kill the mag. Thats where you have a toggle sw now. You also have the 1/4 turn fastenersw for the sheet metal.Your radiator is also different for use of those fasteners. Bottom line your tractor and you can do whatever you like. I can make either rod which ever you want. 25 includes postage.

From the pictures of your tractor it has a super A block. In the second picture below Dist housing and above the steering shaft there are two bolts that hold a cover to where a live hydraulic pump would go.

Mines got the mag kill rod.The only starter on this one is the hand crank. It's a 39'

Vern · Mar 19, 2015

I think that switch is backwards. On my '48 I pull the rod to start.
