Well Joe, I enjoyed your website so much I thought I would post a note. I envy you your photography skills, knowledge of the universe, and the obviously nice farm with loads of family history. Both my parents left the farm to do the suburban career thing back in the early forties and there is no history left.
Don't have much to add on the carb as I am not an expert. Jim's rule...which was pounded into my skull and is now second nature to me...is a good one. Not all tractors leak. We have an MTA which never leaks and the gas does not get shut off. We also have a B which leaks into the air filter if the gas is left on. It did this before the carb rebuild and after. Rechecked the float and valve but it still leaked. Jim indicated that sometimes these valves need to go thru a honeymoon period before they start to seat perfectly but either way, it is a good plan to shut off the gas. Nice tractor by the way, good luck with it.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
