Back at it on the A model. Well, I took a real good look at my carburetor and did find the line fitting with the screen on it. I am still awaiting my books arrival to do more serious work. Turns out that my fuel problem seems to be one of low level in the tank. So far, I have only put 5 gallons at a time in there and when I am driving the tractor after setting the carb to what seems to be working well, the engine starts throttling out. It is definitely fuel flow issue, related, I believe, to the amount of fuel in the tank. So today I am going to run into town with 2(two) 5-gallon containers and add that to the about 2.5 gallons I probably have left in the tank and see what happens... You guys have been great. Hey, I ain't leaving to town just yet, does anyone know the best kind of crankcase oil to put in this baby and also how much should there be? I am considering changing out the oil, being as I have no idea when it last was. I am also getting ready to pull the PTO shaft assembly out again (4th time) and see if I can find out what's causing it to slip. I was told by a local tractor man that there should be a woodruff key on the spline or the shaft to maintain the torque from PTO generator to PTO shaft assembly. Or something similar. Does this sound about correct? My drawings in the I&T manual show a woodruff key there, which the first 3 times I pulled it, I didn't see, either on the shaft or in the drawings-- kind of like the fitting with the screen, I guess. If anyone has any really helpful hints from Heloise in this regard, I am truly a field of ripe corn (all ears.) CSD

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
