I HIGHLY recommend getting an I&T FO-4 service manual for your tractor. Available almost everywhere including the sponsors of this board.

I also HIGHLY recommend removing and flushing that gas tank. Despite what has already been written here, it just is not that difficult to do.
Easier with two people to guide the hood and doglegs past the front, but not impossible alone.
Remember that there are supposed to be THREE screens in the fuel system.
The first is on top of the sediment bowl assembly and physically sticks up into the tank.
The second is above the glass bowl inside the assembly.
The third is in the elbow at the carb.
Make sure you have all three and that they are all clean.

You say that:
"It stays on now for a while longer but again will sputter and cut out and you can smell its flooded again."

When you had the carb apart, did you check the float for holes?
What you describe sounds more like fuel starvation than flooding. You should disconnect the tube from the oil bath air filter and start her. If it floods out you will have gas pouring out of the air intake on the carb.
I do NOT recommend an inline fuel filter on an N!
The gravity fed system does not have enough pressure after the first half tank and you will be scratching your head wondering why she is dying at that point too. Also the fuel line is so close to hot manifold that any plastic or rubber is a fire waiting to happen.

Also...if you can not get her running reliably, post your next questions and symptoms on the Ford N Board below.

Hope This Helps!!!
