NC is right on the kit from rice, Be sure to get a new float also. The original is cork with a shellac coating that will disolve in fuel with alcohol in it. Plus the old ones have usually gone out of shape. The floats Rice has are cork like original but with a coating that can take the alcohol. I did have to trim a "drip" off the side of the float I got though, it would catch the side of the bowl and hang it up. One more thing on the float...do NOT use the float specs that come in the kit!!! they are way wrong and will dump fuel all over the place. set float lower than sheet says and try it at several places till tractor runs sweet and throttles up and down right. BE CAREFUL when taking it apart, the long suction tube goes most of the way up through it and can be rusted on the bottom nut and break. Rice has those tubes also. If it does break, don't bother trying to fix it, the length is critical. As for Gaskets, If I remeber right there is only 2 used, one for the mounting gasket to intake and the one for the fuel inlet screen housing, there is no gaskets used on the float bowl or the snail shell or throttle body. Plugs you can get from car quest or napa but will have to be ordered. I think I used W18 Champions or possibly w20s.I could look to see what I used for sure if you need. I sold the tractor but used a couple extra plugs in my 24 Oldsmobile. The different numbers according to the book have to do with the reach of the threads and not heat range. When I got my plugs I went with what I thought were higher heat range plugs since I was using Kerosene at the time, Two months ago when looking up a set for the Olds the Parts man noticed the reach was listed as the different numbers and heat range was the same for the w18 and w20 plugs. Now this may only apply to the new plugs and not be the way it was on the Old plugs or plug books. Good luck with it and if you get stuck email me and I will help. I have a rebuilt 1927 10-20 carb sitting right here on my desk I can look at for reference
