I really appreciate all the interest from the previous post(s), this SA restoration project has been both frustrating and enjoyable. During the week I can’t wait to get home to work on it and on the weekends there are chores to do. What’s a rust and grease freak to do?

Pete, congratulations, you took the leap! Not so bad was it? The piston and connecting rods come out as a unit. The pistons are removed through the back (head end). Remove the nuts after they are out, clamp the connecting rod in a vice (with brass jaws) and loosen the nut. The bolt has a tapered shaft and will require the encouragement of a brass hammer to separate. IHC Dealers will have the boots and strainer.

“My front end is a cruddy mess,” are you talking about the front axle and steering box? I took mine apart (thanks to Hugh’s advice) and it not so bad. The only bugger I ran into was pulling the steering arm off to be able to separate the box. If you have issues when you get there, email me and I’ll be happy to share my experiences.

Hugh, it sounds like you’re considering going into your touch control. After what I’ve found I would recommend doing it. My pistons are pitted and are not serviceable. I’ll have to find a source for these, I’m sure they will not be inexpensive! You will find flat o-rings that are at the end of their service life (if not beyond). Anyway, it’s really not a difficult project.

Here is our web page of progress on the restoration: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v17/gregdills/Super%20A/

Regards, Greg

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
