Yesterday and today I began my first maintainence on my Farmall A. A quick history: I bought it about 2 years ago from the second or third owner who kept maticulous records of when fluids and all other maintainence was performed. It is a 1944 Farmall A. So the transmission change went well as soon as I identified the check and fill positions. The nut for checking transmission oil on the side of the tractor was under the left rear brake connecting rod. Was I supposed to disconnect the rod to remove the bolt? Today I removed and emptied the rear differentials. Now I have to get a long funnel to refill them. Is there an easier way (cleaner way) to remove the pans without spilling a bunch of oil on my driveway? I used a plastic pan that was just about an inch too short on both sides to allow a clean drop of the pan. I guess a bigger pan would be the answer? I don't use the PTO as of yet but I guess I should change that fluid while I'm at it. Is there a trick to doing that? Thanks for your input and tips. Even though I felt way out of my element I think I did a pretty good job of this round of maintainence. I use the tractor about 30 hours a year so far doing a lot of hauling of logs, firewood, horse manure for the garden and riding around the yard for fun and some bottom plowing in my 24X38 garden!

The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
