I had one and fuel related/resultant starting problems were a constant nuisance plus high fuel consumption (to my later diesel model), problems refueling at temperature extremes...low and high ambient, and lots of heat from the engine sitting in the operators seat...fine in the winter but bad in the summer when you use it most. I am saying this because you said you needed to get it running so I assumed you never had it running and weren't aware of what I am saying here. I bought a Nurse tank that was a 100 gallon wheeled cart that you could take to the field for refueling which consisted of Propane liquid, not gas......suction tube on any supply tank had to have the fill pipe extend down to the bottom of the tank to pick up the liquid. Some tanks have that access and some don't. That tractor would not go all day on a fuel fill up......like diesels will do.
It was my first JD and on the side of the block are 6 little holes midway (considering top to bottom of the block proper). That tractor uses wet sleeves and there are 2 Orings per cylinder, one at the top and the other at the bottom of the sleeve. One is black and the other orange. Been 30 years ago but if I remember correctly, the orange seals off the top where coolant is present and the bottom looks to be Neoprene to seal off the oil in the crankcase. My block was weeping and I didn't know what they were nor how they worked. Wound up doing an inframe engine overhaul which went very well since I had a mechanic from the local IH/OTR truck dealership help me with the OH. I had never done that before.
I had an IT manual and it told me what I needed to know on fluids, type numbers, and amounts. I had a JD dealer about 25 miles away and on parts like filters or what have you, I just told them the year and model and they looked up the necessary parts.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
