TA on a 400


[ Expand ] [ View Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Return to Forum ]

Posted by hal on November 18, 2003 at 05:03:28 from (63.122.73.86):

Last week I was able to buy a Farmall 400 at an auction for $900.00. It runs really good with no smoke and starts right away, and for the most part it is complete, short of light and enblems. It looks real rough from setting out in the weather. I was not able to drive it until I got it home. The TA works, but when you go from TA to direct drive, it does not lockup right away into direct drive when you release the lever foward. It acts like weak springs on a clutch pack or something. This tractor has set out in the weather most of its life and I did not know if water could have got in the TA or something. If it is water or rust in the TA, will use of the TA help the problem or make it worse? I have dads 400 and a 560 that I bought several years ago from a friends estate and they both lock up into direct drive right away when the lever is released foward. I have not been able to get this one to slip when you pull the lever back into TA. Any thought on this problem?

I plan to repaint it and put my dads IH 2ME picker on it for show. I hope to get it in the antique show at the 2004 Indiana State Fair this year and for our local parade in August. I am 45 years old and the last time that this picker was on dads 400 or any other tractor was when I was about 12 or 13 years old. It has been setting in the shed all this time. I will post pictures of before and after as soon as I get it painted.
I need to find a good set of 38" used tires to put on it that are in good enough shape to hold the weight of the picker. I am not able to buy new ones [$$$$]. The ones that are on it now are weather checked really bad and I don't think they will hold the weight of the picker for any length of time. I did not know if anyone had a set laying around that they would sell or where I could find a good set in Indiana for reasonable money. Any help will be appreciated, Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U ... [Read Article]
