For sure.  I completely agree with Spencer.  Those MS carbs are 
everywhere and really are quite simple to bring up to fine condition.  
Parts might be from offshore.  That I don't know about. Gaskets and 
throttle shafts are about all that is usually needed that is specific.  
Floats can be spendy, but much cheaper than a clone carb.

The rebuild shops also have a presence during the show, and you could even pick up a real honest to God carburetor for the tractor completely rebuilt by professionals - probably for the same price or a little more.
