I have what I think is a 1954 Farmall Super C with fast hitch that I use for light work/brushhogging around the farm. Lately it has developed a leak from the bottom vent hole when parked if the gas tank is not turned off. Its gotten to be a steady drip and will empty the gas tank in a couple of weeks, if not turned off. And when I start the tractor, there is a cloud of black smoke after turning over several revolutions and a slow start. Which clears up and runs smoothly after a minute or two. So, my guess is something wrong with either the float level or the gas needle valve operated by the float. Or the float itself is filled with gas. I have been searching the internet for clues of what kind of carburetor is on this, and what kind of parts I need and where to get them. I don't see a make of carb stamped on the body castings anywhere. There is a brass tag that is kind of damaged attached with this: 771SB

And a casting number on the upper section of: 0-653
Some of the letters or digits may be different as they are hard to see. I have not removed the carburetor yet since I am still using the tractor. I did find a U-Tube video of what looks like the same carburetor being worked on, but no mention of make. Looking on the web for parts, I find the Carter carburetor parts look like those used in the UTube video I looked at.
So if anyone can help me identify the potential problem and give me some recommendations for repairing it, I would sure appreciate the help?
