Man that stinks. One thing I've learned over the years of being interested in old stuff is, if the repair is too much for me to tackle then it probably costs too much to get done right (for my budget anyway). If the carb had some damage or bad screws you might well have been better off buying a repop anyhow. Shop bills add up quick and finding those screws is a little more involved than finding a carb kit. Their response has been horrible IMO, but the inability to quickly get the work done isn't a surprise. They likely don't have a warehouse full of old carbs to steal parts from, and they don't have people trained to comb the internet like hobby folks do. Sorta like why you shouldn't take an old car to a body shop for a restoration, when it's a little bit outside their expertise nothing goes smooth. I am a bit surprised someone can stay in business these days specializing in John Deere carbs... that's a little too narrow of a niche. If it were me I'd call and stay on the line with them until someone can give a better picture of what they have done, and what they are planning to do to make it right. If it's not to your satisfaction have them send it back to you and use it as your own parts carb down the road.
