[Farmall] Farmall H Quits

[Scott M]

Keith,
I had a similar problem on a super c. I found out along with the old fuel
residue in the carb., there was rust in the fuel tank. I did not rebuild the
carb. I removed the bowl and screen from the fuel tank, Removed the fuel
tank from the tractor, Emptied ALL fuel from tank, Filled the tank about 1/3
full of pea gravel, then strapped it to another tractor wheel for a few
hours while working. It shines the inside of a tank up instantly. Just empty
the tank of gravel & blow out the tank with a compressor. If you do not
intend to use the tractor soon after, simply spray a film of your favorite
oil to the inside of the tank to prevent re rusting.

Hi,
   
  I have a Farmall H and have recently replaced the magneto and fuel bowl
but my tractor runs for about 15 minutes and then just dies. I guess I am in
for a carb rebuild now and was wondering what else I could be looking at.
The tractor ran fine, the mag died and it was a few months before I replaced
it.  I am guessing that there is old gas residue in the carb and that is my
latest problem.  I did not have fuel stabalizer in it - but have put some in
since I changed the mag and the fuel bowl.  
   
  I probably need to put a timing light on it as well. I sent away for a
maintenance manual which should be here soon.
   
  Any other tips appreciated.

Thanks,
  Keith
