Carburetor Identification

I am struggling with this and I know there must be an easy answer. I am reviving a '45 H with still the original carburetor and stamped on the side is 6212 DB.

I want to clean and rebuild the carb and the best I can gather is this is a Part No: C510V (YT part number)

I have the service, operators and equipment manual well enough but .. I am not able to exactly identify this carburetor.

Where do you find this number and what am I doing wrong ?

The number you list from the carb is only the bowl
number not the complete carb number. There is a
little round disc on carb that has the assembly part
number.

You're right and I can see that now. I started scrubbing and discovered that 6212 DB bolts up to 6213A ... LOL

I know what you are talking about now I remember seeing them on other tractors since you have mentioned it. The aluminum 'tag' has been missing a long time.

I can reverse engineer this with the part numbers to make the carburetor number that way. I was trying to do this without taking stuff apart before hand.

Thank you

The number you need is on a small, round, brass disc riveted to the area where the governor tube attaches.

Be prepared to do some trimming on the gasket in that kit because it will not fit right out of the box, and the choke shaft and choke plate most likely will need some massaging also, and for what it's worth, the instructions included with that kit are not much to brag about either.

Excellent ... and I found exactly that. I thought I should follow up with you.

It was under all the barnacles.

50981DA and we are good to go.

Even if the number on that tag had been 45108D, the kit for the 50981 would work just fine. I don't know why there are two different kits available for the H carburetor, because the same exact parts are in both kits.

Let us know how everything fits.

Will do Rusty .. the only comment I heard was the gaskets may need a little trimming but see that as a no big deal.

The hardest part was nicely removing 66 years of crud collected from hard work. Once I was inside the governor tube and air intake it was easy to see why the throttle never seemed to work right over those several years. I know for a fact nobody had taken a wrench to the motor in all that time .. it just always started and ran. Some pretty mpressive stats if you pause to think about.

What else would you know of that could withstand 60+ years of regular punishment like that and still keep running. IH babay !!

Thanks guys for your input and it will be a few days before this arrives anyway.
