Need ideas. I've got a 3400 ford with a holly one-barrel updraft carb. This is an old Air Force tractor with only 1700 hrs on it. I've had it for about fifteen years & have nothing but fits from the carb. I don't farm, I just use it for pulling a little backhoe & lifting engines. I know they make a replacement carb, & I can get an original holly, but being cheap, I refuse to pay over $400.00 for a carb with two or three moving parts.
I've had suggestions to weld another base on top of the manifold, & to make a horseshoe pipe, mounting a standard downdraft carb, anyone got any ideas?
Also, it seems no one knows much about this tractor, there's not many parts listed for it. Is it an oddball, or just not very popular? Thanks for the input, Dale

Thanks for the input....this 'ole boy starts easy, but the minute I put a load on it, or try to accelerate, even sitting still, it starts to sputter & cough. I can idle around with it, but a slight incline & thats it! I've rebuilt the carb three times, & still have the problem. I'm about ready to deep six the carb & make an adaptor for a car carb with cable control. This is a heavy duty tractor, & should have plenty of power....it's driving me nuts!

Put a carb kit in it and check the float height, it is very sensitive to the correct height. Our 3000 has a holly and it was never as good as those on the older tractors.

Have you ever put a complete rebuild kit in the carb?
