My carburator is leaking directly from the bottom. Its not much of a leak but it is still leaking. I replaced the needle valve and seat and a new seal which cured the biggest leak but there is still this one left. Is there an O-Ring or small gasket underneathe somewhere? Thanks for any comments!

check the float level, it is probably set too high.

I replaced a needle and seat for a gal the other day on her JD 60 and had the same problem you are. I took the float out and checked it in a can of gas, looked good SO I bent the float arm to position the float deeper in the bowl, figuring it wasn't putting enough pressure on the needle (Viton-tipped) and it helped. After another bending job (about as much as possible, this time) it quit leaking and the tractor ran and pulled fine. I told her to order a spare float, needle and seat for the next time. :-)

I am no expert and would wait to hear from some of them here, but you might want to check and/replace your float. If it is not rising high enough to seat the needle when the bowl is full, then even a new seat won't work properly. If there is no adjustment to it I would replace it. Just bought one and it was $5. The hole on the bottom is an overflow for mine but can't speak for yours. You did not say what type of carb it is or for what type of tractor. That info would be helpful because some know more about one style than another. Good luck and let us know how you come out.

Telling what type of tractor would be helpful wouldn't it! Its off of a M Farmall and the only carb they came with that I know of is the I.H.C..
