    used red MN, Hello, I missed this post along the way. My apologies. I originally did look into tank when we first started troubleshooting this tractor. I was confident that the tank was fine. Then further into the forums someone suggested looking into the tank. We I think was you previously...

    Hi Daniel, your concerns about the gas leaking from sediment bowl were and are concerning for me. My thoughts are that I didn't have the sediment bowl assembly tight enough. It was tight enough not to leak when the tractor was not working. But I think the movement of the tractor bouncing around...

    Well guys I have finally found another problem. Is it the last part of the problem? I believe there has been a series of problems actually. Yesterday I was in the field with this tractor. I decided if it would run then run it. So we know it will run great in any gear at half choke. I can't get...

    Hello Daniel, I am leaning towards the cheap knockoff. I ordered the carburator from Steiners. It didn't have a brass tag. And it didn't fit up to the manifold like the original did. Trying to dial this thing in has been near impossible. I ordered a carb kit. Because I think this replacement...

    Hello my Massey Harris 44 mentors, This weekend I got to witness my 5 yr old granddaughter compete in her first cheer competition. And outside of the first time my father put a hand full of dirt to my face and said "take a smell of that fresh tilled soil". They will remain as two of the most...

    Hello All, Sorry for the late response. I had my Granddaughter over the weekend. Ok, here is my update. Used Red MN, after poking around in the carb with a pipe cleaner and making some adjustments. After several tests, I was finally able to fill a pint jar at a rate of 1:58. I took the tractor...

    Hello Stevieb49829, I checked for a screen at the carburator inlet, there was no screen. Looking inside the inlet of the carb it appeared clear. I appreciate your efforts with advice. Thanx, Cheapjohn

    Hello Used Red MN, I checked the gas flow today, 1 pint took 4:22 Not very good according to your calculations. The gas cap is original so I don't think that is the problem. I'm starting to think the carburator is the problem as suggested. Could the carburetor be adjusted to remedy the...

    Hello Daniel W, I appreciate your response, also I will read and take notice of any thoughts a person wants to share. I am a firm believer that forums are always be read by people that may not like to ask questions, but need help. Besides you never know where a conversation may lead. I forgot...

    Hello Used Red MN, I will try your pint jar test tomorrow. I wish this formula had been presented to me years ago. I'm sure it will save time and help answer the question right away as to rather or not the correct amount of fuel is being distributed. Thanx, Cheapjohn

    Massey Harris 44 Governor

    Good morning, Yesterday I was able to look at governor function as, (Used Red MN) suggested. With the tractor running in neutral and a few notches above idle, I could stand at the side of tractor and work the linkage between the throttle body and the governor. As I pulled the arm to the...

    Thank you gentlemen for your input. Ok, here is what happens. This tractor is a one push of button start unit. Fires right up and roars at whatever step I have the throttle at. If I throttle it high it revs up, if I throttle it down, the engine rpms will reduce and the engine will idle smooth...
