Odd problem with a Farmall 340

Well it sat in the field all winter and the engine was locked up. Got it freed up real easy with a simple ATF treatment. Fired it up and drove it a little bit. Let it sit and run while I serviced the NH Baler I had on it. Tractor started to cut out and then it died. Now if will not start back up. Have good flow of gas to the carb and a good blue white spark from the coil wire. The odd thing is, is it back fired when you let off the switch from the start position. Have not had time to do more since I have hay down and need to bale it so unhooked the 340 and hooked up another tractor. Any ideas as to what happened??
Thanks
 
similar thing happened to me last summer with my 340. the key that held the rod/drive gear for the distrubtor finally wore out and ruined the shaft. found another unit, swapped them out and back to purring again.
