Haven't been posting too long. Recently read the requests for courtesy when using this site. I have been extremely impressed by the helpfulness of people who write in with answers to questions. Have received a couple of good tips myself, already. I can remember only one answer that was uncalled for. A fellow new to old tractors asked a question that could only be answered by having the appropriate manuals, parts books, etc., which he did NOT have. One of the answers said something like, "you just want somebody else to do your work for you." I was shocked, because even though I grew up around and used certain tractors (mostly red), there are dozens of other tractors that I know a little about, but certainly not much overall. If we used the old stuff for 10 or 20 or 30 years, then of course we know quite a bit about them, but if we are new to the use or collecting of these oldtimers, we have to expect a certain amount of "iggorance," as my dad's hired man used to say. No doubt any one of us COULD find answers to almost any question, if we had time and knew where to look, but it is wonderful when other people know these things right now, and just as wonderful that they are willing to help out. Hats off to all the folks who help by sharing their knowledge.

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.
