I am a novice to farmalls. I have 6 deere 2 cylinders and just got a 48 H for my new wife. (It was her grandfathers.) Anyway it ran good for a while and then just quit. After checking coil, points, condesor and plugs i went around to the other side and pulled the bottom of the carb off. It was dry as a bone. The needle that the float lifts was stuck up and would not release down. I sprayed a little wd40 into the area and she works now for the most part. Any tips on what to do?

I just got a 51 H and am learing about the letter series myself)all my previous tractors were made in the 20s or 30s), but I am a die hard carb guy and have yet to have one stump me (either lucky or blessed) If the needle valve was sticking it was either due to gum or corrosion. if it was gum, take out the needle and seat and clean them very well with a good carb cleaner, but don't use anything metal to do the cleaning(wire brush ect). If it was corrosion, get a carb kit and put that in. Also make sure the float is not rubbing the side of the float bowl. I have seen a few mangled floats that rubbed and caused sticking. Good luck with it.

Well if i were you i would sell the j.d.'s and get your self some farmalls. or did you mean with the carb? I would just make sure the float is working properlly and clean the rest of her up with carb cleaner. I like to rinse it in gas when im done as carb cleaner is some powerful stuff and pops told me it can eat away at gaskets. So i always rinse in gas. As far as the john deers go i was just kidding. My moms dad had a john deere and if i could find it I would keep it forever. I would have to make sure none of my farmalls saw it though they might act up. But if i could find it there is no question If it was for sale i would pay almost any price, as my grand dad passed on almost 2 years ago. he was a wwII vet and was born on june 6 1911. On his birth day he was in the army and was part off the battle at normandy. He refused to tell us any stories about the war. But on his death bed I had a moment alone with him and he told me some things I will never mention. So ya if i could get his john deere he owned i would be happy to have it. Even though My dad is a farmall guy and I am farmall to the bone. take care.
