SDE: I don't know about that, 856 is quite a big engine alongside a 400. The 856 will probably pull twice the size disk on 4 gallons of fuel per hour.
My experience, and I'm quite surprised your getting by on that 400 and only 3 gph. My 300 burnt 3 gph on a 9' haybine. My 560D and 656D did the same job 25% faster on 1 gph. The 300 constantly broke shear bolts on the haybine. The same haybine and 560 and 656 never broke a shear bolt. Why, because diesel power is much steadier power.
These big gassers were toast 40 years ago. We don't have them in Canada, at least not many. Due to our tax system, we always paid 25% more for fuel than Americans, using a common dollar. I've only seen one IH 6 cylinder gasser in my life, and that guy never did anything but look at 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.
