To Hugh and Hal in part, and all members too.
Update. Put 4 bottles of alchohol in the tank, took off the sediment bowl and cleaned it out, took off the carb and cleaned it (including the screen tube on the fuel intake line) had to build a new gasket for the sediment bowl to stop the new leak, checked the rubber hose between the carb and the air intake for obstructions, and after all that.....no real difference. Still has no power under load and wants to drop the rpm down to almost nothing. Idles fine.
Marginally useable so I took it down for some fresh gas, and at the station, the rear blade dropped to the ground. Not in free fall, but really quick. Touch control lever backed down all by itself. After cycling it a couple of times, got the blade up enough to drive home (2 blocks) but had to hold the touch control lever up to keep the blade up. As soon as I parked it and let go of the lever, down went the blade with a clang. Went to pop the hyd fill hole bolt to check fluid level (it's never leaked) and got hot fluid trying to shoot out past the threads! Tightened it back up in a hurry and am letting it cool off.
My new theory? The hyd unit has been engaging trying to keep up this whole time and is robbing me of power. That perhaps the two problems are related. Any thoughts / advice? Thanks!

As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
