I am not trying to disagree with you I just never seen an alis broke in the middle. I have seen lot of oliver tractors broke in the housing between the transmission and the clutch housing. I had an h3 crawler and it kept blowing the cam and govner gears. You had to be an octupus to run it. It had 3 levers for the 6 way blade it had the left and right trac clutch levers one for the throtle a lever for the directional and a left and right foot brake and a clutch pedal.

Good shots, Earl! I've taken a few shots of old tractors around here, too. They just seem to call, "Shoot me!". LOL

Boy I don't know how to take this poor old thing is setting out there been rode and worked to death and here you say it is saying shoot me shoot me. I say you are right and I enjoy shooting them to. Walk up and kick a tire (becareful of the ones with steel wheels) let them know you are proud of their efforts toward helping making this great country what it is today.

Maybe it's because these old tractors hold fond memories to a lot of us. They do to me and your picture of this old Farmall A had caused me to join you all here on UHH. I have some pictures of than old A taken a few years ago on a trip to Michigan and will post as soon as I can locate.

Hey Pete, no problems with me. I have seen a couple but heard of a few broken little ACs. They had a skinny bit in the middle between the clutch housing & the trans.
Typical of the farming fraternity, they buy the cheapest machine & try to get it to do the work of a D9. Little wonder some of them break.
Your Crawler sounds like fun to operate, you'd be as busy as a 1 legged frog in a snake pit.

yea they have tried to get more out of the small ones than they were made go give for sure. At one time I had a ac model B crank start it was a good little tractor but I know what you are saying. That casting is very small for sure. I think JD was the first to put all controls for a 6 way blade on one lever sure made a difference. Hey Pete, no problems with me.

I was disking one time with a JD 720 deisel in 4th gear and was throtling back to make a turn at a canal. The guy I was working for didn't want me to throtle back so I tried it and the power steering locked up tight. I was use to a foot clutch so when I went for the foot clutch I stepped on the left brake and when I realized what was happening I jerked the hand clutch back. When had every thing stopped. The left front wheel was right on the edge of the canal and the right rear tire was on the edge the right front was dangling out over the canal. I put in reverse backed up got all four wheels back on ground. I suggested that I would drive my way or he could get some one to drive it his way.

When I was a kid worked for a guy that had I believe it was a JD Model D one of the old steel wheel ones and I use to drive it for him. IT started on gas and then ran on stove oil. It had to pet cocks to release the comprestion and then you would spin the the big flywheel on the side when it started you closed the pet cocks. It was an amazing tractor.
