We have two Petes in on this one so this might get confusing . . . ;8^)
The Pump setup on P&R Pete's Super A is the same as the C.
So, Pete up in MI, it's fairly easy to get to and check out. Drop the oil pan. There will be four bolts that are longer than the others, so keep track of where they go. You will see the pick-up of the oil pump sticking out the bottom, sort of a flying saucer shape on the right side a little aft of the middle.
The whole pump assembly is easy to remove. Not far up on the right outside of the motor, if you follow up from the pump pick-up, you'll see two bolts maybe a couple of inches apart, that should have a flat piece of soft metal between them and the block, with the corners of the soft piece bent over to keep the bolt heads from working loose. Flatten that soft piece out remove the bolts. They are all that hold the pump. Though I've never had one just drop out, it's not a bad idea to keep one hand on the pump from underneath when you pull the second bolt. From there, it's a matter of pulling straight down, as all that's left to engage the motor is the drive gear at the top with meshes with the cam. Sometimes it helps to jiggle the cam by moving the engine fan back and forth a little(ignition OFF!!!) to free it up.
From there, you can start just like P&R Pete suggested by using kerosene or an aerosol, like brake cleaner, to clean up any sludge. (You will, of course, be cleaning any sludge out of the oil pan while you're in there, and the depth/quantity of that will give you some idea whether that's impeding the uptake of the pump.) If that's all squared away you can evaluate what you have, and go on to replacing the gasket and sanding the cover back smooth and flat if needed.
Only other suggestions are to have replacement gaskets on hand for the pan (NAPA has them) and for the cover on the oil pump if you open it up (there may be other sources but likely a CaseIH dealer part). That and, if you get into sanding down the cover, get a new 8x10 piece of window glass from the hardware -- just don't use an old pane you may have laying around that is so old that it has ripples in it.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
