[Farmall] K5 bushings

[Andy glines]

I'm learning about a lot of things I didn't know about
with this carb.  Makes me want to pull the KG from the
F-20 and look into it.  Thing is the tractor runs
pretty darn good except for very rich idle.  I always
assumed that the rich idle was the nature of the
beast.  Now you've got me curious.
