I have a 1952 H and I am at my wit's end trying to get it to run right. This tractor's primary duty these days is to be my woodcutting tractor. It ran fine the first couple years I cut wood with it, but now it has some problems.
First I should say that my father-in-law has owned this tractor for about 40 years. It is now mine, but he rebuilt the motor as a high school shop class project. It has seen no updates since then.
My problem started when I would pull the old manure spreader out to cut wood. The engine started to sputter and hesitate when it got warm. This progressed into a very hot muffler: hot enough to vaporize the galvanization off the new muffler. Then it started to backfire when I shut it off. Now it acts like the governor isn't working since when I put a load on the motor it just bogs down instead of compensating.
I should also mention that I have put a carb kit in it, but it doesn't seem like I can get the carb adjusted properly. It also has a dual fuel manifold, even though this isn't a dual fuel motor.
