Picked Up my CA today. I have not found the serial number yet. I think I read it is somewhere by the shifter.
Tractor runs very poorly but doesn't smoke. I think it will need some carb work and some ignition.
Tractor has been converted to 12V but the wiring is very messy.
Brakes do not work
Hydraulic Pump is unknown
Rims have some rust and are filled will calcium. Plan to demount and fix and paint
But overall this tractor should be a good project
  I would like to get a 3pt hitch setup. Not sure if I should go for the snap coupler setup and get an adatper or just go for aftermarket

Welcome to the last tractor brand you will ever want, and welcome to the forum. Except for what you have already found as defective, the tractor looks pretty straight. Nice find. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

Welcome! CAs are nice little tractors. I couldn't talk my neighbor into selling his, so I ended up buying a B. And then I found another B, and a plow, and a cultivator, and a Woods belly mower, and a sickle bar mower... you better get ready for more orange stuff to show up. The guys on here can give you good advice on just about anything. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

Carbon plug wires are a pain and keep a vintage engine from running well. A choke wire that doesn't open and close the choke all the way is another common pain. Then there's the plugged fuel line that keeps the engine running lean. That can be anywhere from the float needle, through the inlet adapter screen, to varnish in the line, in the sediment screen, or in the fuel outlet in the tank. And can be more than one of these. Start with these and a new set of plugs not Champion plugs and there's a good chance it will begin to run like a fine sewing machine. If not, then carburetor cleaning and valve setting are in order accompanied by compression testing. Gerald J. |
