Several weeks ago my old iron buddy and myself had to opportunity to obtain 2 Framall A's. These were in a barn on property that was to be developed for a subdivision. Had to get them off the property by end of January. It was quite an adventure recovering them. All 8 tires were flat and the tractors had sunk down in the dirt floor. All tires held air! The next challenge was getting them out of the barns. The barn yard was low and with heavy rain lately the yard was flooded. Used all the tow strap and chain my buddy and I had, about 60' of it. Loaded his tractor on the trailer and took it over to the place. Put his tractor on the high ground and pulled both tractors through the barn yard pond one at a time. Got them home and checked the serial #'s. One is a 1939 and the other is a 1941. Both engines were stuck. Got the 1941 Framall A unstuck and getting it ready to attempt a start. Still working on the 1939 A. Soaking pistons with Marvel Mystery Oil and such. Hope to get it free soon. One of the tractors had a set of cultivators and the other has a middle buster on the back. Glad we were able to save them from the junk man.
