I procured an ancient tractor that ran fine for about ten minutes. Long story short, cleaned out fuel bowl , and had to remove brass filter at end of line going into carb because it was full of grit. Carb is updraft model, has two screws on side and one at bottom. Set side screws at 11/2 turns each. Loosed screw on bottom to see if fuel in carb, discovered it has a valve screwed all way in . Loosed it one turn and locked down with nut surronding it. Tractor cranks with a breath of ether, runs about ten minutes and quits. Throttle control has no control at all. Tractor has huge rear tires, two right together in front , power steering and a front end loader.(thats why I bought it). I need to get thing running as I don't need a pasture decoration ! As far as model, thats what seller told me. Neighbor said tractor was known as "widow maker" because it will rear up easily. Wifey says sell it as is. Probably at a big loss so I need to get it running. Don't recommend dealer as this area is now the suburbs and the dealers sell mainly lawn mowers. Any help is appreciated. thanks, James
