When it warms up a bit I'm planning to rebuild the carb on my H. It has lots of crud on the outside and probably junk on the inside. What is everyone recommending these days to clean the outside and inside.

After using the dip in a parts cleaner, blow all holes out with an air compressor. You'd be surprised at the number of small passages and how they are connected in the body of the carb until air starts coming out of them. These small internal passages can get blocked and you would never know it by just putting a new kit in. Been there, done that.

Sorry, I don't have anything thing to say about cleaning a carburator; however, I was looking for some help with a problem of my own. I tore down a 424 to rebuild the engine, and when I started putting it back together I found this hollowed out stud, like ones used for oil flow, and I don't know where it belongs! It would just be of great help if someone could tell me where this bolt may belong.

Thanks a lot,
Staci

Get it off the tractor, then some day when it is in the 40's take it outside.

I always have to be consious of the fact that I have a flame in the building.

That is why I don't have a water heater in my shop. I have an overhead gas furnace, but gasoline vapors are heavier than air. As long as any gasoline is 2 feet below the flame or spark, the code says you are ok. (I'm not going to try that though). My furnace is 10 feet higher than the floor. Before I built my building I was concerned about dripping gas from my tractors, etc and a gas furnace. I do leave the gas shut off on the tractors.

This is exactly the job to do in the winter. You do it all inside. Takes about 10 minutes max to pull that carb and bring it in. Disassemble. The exploded diagrams for the carb are in the old owners manual or from your dealer. Get the COMPLETE kit from Rusty Farmall. Soak it, blow it out with carb cleaner. Paint the outside. Reassemble.

I use Berrymans chem-dip to soak my carbs in. A 1 gal. can of it with basket will cost you around $30. I then take the carb apart and put it in the basket and let it soak a day or so. then blow it out and srpay things out with spray carb cleaner. I also use a torch tip cleaner to make sure all passage ways are open and clean

Buy some carburetor cleaner at an auto parts store, soak it overnight and blow out with compressed air. Be sure what you buy is designated as carb cleaner -- other cleaning solutions don't work as well.
