[AJD] DLTX-18 and DLTX-71 Similarities

[Louis]

The DLTX 18 is for earlier A's, SN 425851 - 487999. The 71 is from a
late gas A.  They use different nozzles.  The 18 was designed for
"tractor fuel", where the 71 was designed for gasoline.  The 71 doesn't
have an economizer plug.  No need for it, since the carb is designed for
gas. 

The 71 has a sister carb, the 72.  The 72 was designed as an all fuel
carb.  It was made for late styled A's.  It was also a replacement for
A's SN 488000 and up.  Believe it or not, when I got my first antique
John Deere A in 1987, the DLTX 72 (might have been a 71, I don't
remember exactly) was still available.  I think it was around $250.  I
thought that was pretty steep.  Now, I wish that I bought 10 of them.

    I spent the better part of the afternoon putting
in some quality time with the bead blaster working on
some carbs today.   Both of the DLTX-10's,  a DLTX-71
(not the one that has been giving me trouble,  this is
from another tractor) and a DLTX-18 that I bought on
Ebay all got cleaned up.

    I noticed that there is a crack in the stem of the
DLTX-71 where the needle goes into the stem.  It
really doesn't look like it will hurt anything,  but I
also noticed the body of the DLTX-18 has the same
number DLT18 cast into the stem.  The bodies are
slightly different,  can one be substituted for
another?
