Does anybody know about how much lead additive per gallon of gas I should be putting in my '53 W4?

Got the new carb put on today and it fired up with one crank of the starter. First time it's started and ran since the 70s. I'll post a pic within the next couple days of it out for the first drive. I still have no idea what's wrong with the other carb.

I got the W4 going by spraying gas in the throat of the carb. It will not run by itself. The carb has plenty of gas. When the fuel is turned on, fuel drips out of the air horn of the carb. But the engine doesn't get the fuel it needs to run. All the top end gaskets are brand new. The carb has...

Sorry it took me so long to get these uploaded but I've been busy with a lot of different projects lately. Heres the valves and head. No major surprises. Theres definitely some seating issues but no obvious major problems. I'll update you guys again once i get them ground.

Here is a pic of what it looks like under the valve cover. There seems to be plenty of oil spread over everything. It is the exhaust valve on #4 that is stuck. Nothing seems to be broken or bent. What is the best thing I can put on it to free it up? I don't have any Marvel Mystery Oil but what...

I'm rebuilding the carb on my W4 but the diagram that came with the kit doesn't show all the parts. Does anyone know where I can find a diagram for it?

I'm changing the fluids and I know the belt pulley uses oil but does anyone know what feeds the oil into it or, if it is seperate what kind of oil do i put into it? Any input would be greatly appreciated. :confused3:

I drained the transmission on my W4 and noticed a plug on the bellhousing just behind the oil filter. I pulled it but it was dry. Anyone have any idea what it is for?

My tires are loaded with calcium but I don't plan on pulling or anything so does anyone have a good way to empty them without causing an enviromental disaster?

I just bought a McCormick-Deereing W4 that has 6v generator, wiring, voltage regulator and battery but a 12v coil. I haven't got it running it yet but before I do should I change coil to a 6v or does it matter?

I'm working on the wiring on my W4. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a W4 or H?
