Just put it in a flat rate box and ship it to Franklin (Frank) Jones in Cullman, Alabama. You can't beat his work for the price. He is a machinist by trade and specializes in antique tractor carburetors. I've had him do about 30-40 for me over the last few years and have been pleased with every one. He not only puts a kit in them, but re-bushes, drills the jets, polishes it, etc. if it needs it. I think the last time (about 6 months ago) I had some rebuilt, they were around $80 each. He tests and adjusts every one of them too and all you gotta do is bolt it on and go!

You shouldn't need a model for that carburetor. Most all parts are just brand specific for carburetors for that tractor I think.

I see you have the chocke partly on that could be why its leaking. The "t" shaped thing is for mixture on hi speed you mite need to adjust that till engine runs best. That carb was originaly for distillant fuel. doesent look as though the carb leaked very much mite not need any overhaul just some good adjustment.

That is interesting gene. How would one know it was for a distallate engine?

I only got this tractor a few days ago and don't know much about them (learning as i go). It has a few problems lol. First question if its for distillate fuel can i run gas in? I have the choke on a little cause with it off it wont idle. I thought maybe an overhaul and some adjustments might fix it. But could it be because it has gas in it?

Because gas models didnt have the main jet adjustable from factory or else the carb has been changed. I am a collector of those AS and Bs and have had many over the yrs do restoration sell repair ect.

I found on a different model, as far as adjusting the carb, that the owner's manual had some info, the I&T manual had some different info, the IH Service Manual had some different info, and only if you put it all together, did you get a complete idea. I'd recommend you get every manual you can.
