    1958 861 Bendix broken

    Suddenly when starting, the starter locked up. I pulled the starter and 1/2 of the Bendix gear is missing. I can't fish out any of the missing broken gear pieces.

    Carb- parts left over

    Carb- parts left over

    Help! I rebuilt the carb on my 1958 861 Ford tractor. I can't figure out where the very small, very light spring goes. It's about 3/4 inch long and diameter is not quite as that of a pencil. I think it has to do with the float and needle and seat. Thanks, Will
