I went and did it. Bought a JD 50

Olliejunkie · May 6, 2017

It got wet this winter. I got the cylinders dried out and cleaned the carb up but I think a complete kit is in order. Can someone recommend one?

good looking tractor...best of luck with it

That one looks pretty good. We had a 50 for years. It was a pretty decent tractor.

We also had a 50 and swapped it on a Farmall M. Ours had the underslung exhaust.

I once owned a model 50, a total basket case. I bought it with an owner/operators manual. I sold the tractor but still have the
manual. Contact me if you are interested in buying it. I'll be fair. e-mail is open

Find a good power block for it. It will wake it up a bit.

A whole lot more to it than "a kit" on these carbs if you want them right. Lot of "pretty parts" you don't need and probably won't fix the problem. They're just not a "do it yourself" type carb to re-build.

I hope not. I hope I did not start something new. This one was 5 miles from home and $500. Couldn't pass it up. I got a soft spot for Oliver's but my go to tractor is my 3010. It was getting lonely. Got a B I need to fix too.

What or who do you recommend? My float is all bent up and full of solder. Fuel is running over the bowl because gasket is gone. I could just buy a few parts and see if it cures it or get a complete kit for a little more.
It would be nice to have it right and I would consider sending it out. I do not farm much. Mainly a tractor hoarder.

A carb that rough needs to be sent to a pro such as roberts who has all the parts, tools and experience . They test run the carb to ensure it works.
That 50 is a very early open window. Optional live pto , has live hydraulics but years prior to the PS option.

Thank you! I will give them call. I believe it's a 53. I think the blade is going to come off. I think it may damage the frame.

I went and did it. Bought a JD 50
