So update on my WD, since it's been awhile. Pulled the carb and the gas tank. Cleaned everything (spent like a week swishing nuts and bolts in the gas tank, and definitely got two solid handfuls of rust out of it). Been back together for a week and the sediment bowl is amazingly clear still. Very pleased with that.
However, the tractor itself still isn't running quite right. It fires right up when you pull the starter, and it idles great, but after it runs for about 3 minutes it starts to develop a "pop" or flutter (not like a miss, but... sometimes it's just a single pop, sometimes it's a double pop)... And when you open up the throttle, sometimes it seems like it becomes a bit choppy. Take it out and drive it around and when you get on a hill, it sounds like it's going to die. But open the choke up, and that doesn't help any.
I tried dinking with the carb, but just wound up opening it up enough so it blew black smoke at about 1/2 throttle, so that didn't work well. I've got it set at about 1 1/2 turns out for idle screw, and maybe a shade past 2 turns out for the main jet right now. Really confused on what to look at next. It seems like the engine just speeds up and slows down when the throttle is anything past idle (usually about 1/4 throttle) and doesn't run smoothly past idle or once she warms up.

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
