My Father and I had a 64 combine in the early 1960"s. It was a good machine when the engine ran. Ours had the 4 cyl. cub engine with a ring gear but no starter. We installed a starter and ran a HEAVEY gauage wire from the battery on the Farmall 400 to power the starter. The ground was the frame of the combine to the frame of the tractor. This helped a bunch!!!! Now if I remenber right isn"t the gas tank on top of the engine? I don"t remenber(sp.?) gasoline boiling in the gas tank and spitting out the gas cap like it did one hot fall when we had the mounted corn picker on the 400. (That was different to say the least!!). So what would happen if you moved the gas tank away from the engine? (By the way it didn"t matter what the paint color was or the engine brand(Wisc. and other engines were just as tempermental as the brand names when mounted on implements!) I never gave the gas tank location any thought until now as we traded the 64 on a PTO driven model 76 combine. Solved the engine problem but exposed some different problems that we solved by trading for a SP model 303. One other way to solve the engine problem would be to find a PTO drive. It was a option for the 64. Armand

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.
