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.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
