1953 CA w/ Snap Coupler

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have been keeping an eye out for Snap Coupler CA parts. All of my CA implements are pin hitch, but with the 4 row toolbar planter I am building, I'm worried a CA might not be able to handle quite that much weight based on feedback from the forum. It would be nice to set the planter toolbar up for Snap Coupler and be able to just hook that planter up to a WD/45 if I find out the CA can't handle it. Cue the search for the CA Snap Coupler hitch parts and I found this 1953 CA for sale and dragged it home. 
The one rear rim disintegrated when we winched it onto my trailer. There was a can over the exhaust but it's stuck solid. I think I have gotten lucky once in my life with soaking the cylinders in diesel and actually breaking an engine loose. Might do that just for kicks while I work on the other tractors and the planter.

	Since I have accumulated 5 cheap/rough CAs now, you start noticing things: -All 5 have Zenith carburetors. I have yet to see an MS carb on one in person but I know they exist. -All have the higher compression ratio gas engines. -4/5 had at least a couple of cultivator brackets left on them.

	Great find on a CA with SnapCoupler that may run with a little work. As with most anything 70 some years old, Some things get changed. As per the parts book, only a Zenith carburetor was OEM on a CA. However any carburetor from a B,C. RC. D10/12 will bolt to the manifold. What is the Spec number on the M/S you have seen on a CA? My guess is that few Distillate or High altitude CAs were sold. The CA is a wonderful cultivating tractor and the mounting brackets and levers don't interfeer with most other CA implements.
	If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
