I am working on an 1952 IH M tractor. I just finished changing it from a 6 to 12 volt system thanks to all the information on this site. The tractor had about an inch of rust in the bottom of the fuel tank when I bought it that kept killing the engine due to the fuel tank float bowl valve clogging. I cleaned out the tank and relined it. I then flushed the fuel line to the carb. I removed the carb and cleaned it inside and out. I used my air compressor and carb cleaner to get the carb as good as I could. Next I reassembled the carb, aligned the governor to the carb when putting it back on and started the tractor. It didn't want to start until I used the choke and got it at just the right spot. It only took a couple tries to start. When I adjust the idle screw, high speed screw or governor screw the tractor responds in the anticipated way. The problem is that if I fully release the choke the tractor dies. It responds the same if I fully open the choke. The tractor runs great if I leave the choke at about the halfway point. This would be fine if the weather never changes but winter will come again in Northern IL. Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
