Just a little followup. I took the carb into a mechanic and he did a rebuild. The float did not have any fuel in it. I replaced the carb but it still was flooding. I spoke with my brother and he suggested checking the air intake for dirt as that could restrict air and cause flooding. I removed the pre-cleaner and it was horribly dirty. The intake pipe also had about a 1/4 inch of gook on the inside which I cleaned. I put everything back together and it started great. Good news about the carb rebuild is that the tractor ran so much better now, with more power and much smoother.
While I was at it, I bought a new seat. My dad found the old flip-over mounting and so I used that also. Then I put together a pre-heater for the intake by using some stove pipe around the muffler. Also wrapped foil insulation around the outside of the tractor to hold in a little more heat this winter.
It really runs nice now and starts on the first crank. I should also mention that my dad said he"d never touched the carb and he bought the tractor in 1961.
