Back when I was fighting carb problems one of my issues turned out to involve the air cleaner. My tractor had a mix of United Specialties and Donaldson air cleaner components mainly the cup on the bottom didn't match with the rest of the unit. The United Specialties unit as I recall has a shallower cup along with an oil baffle (which wasn't on my Super C) between the cup and the cannister portion of the air cleaner. The Donaldson doesn't have a baffle and the cup is deeper so the fill line is farther below the filter part of the cleaner.

Even after fixing the air cleaner problem the Carter carb continued to cause running and idle problems and in general was a royal pain to work with. Four or five carb rebuilds later (most by very skilled folks) led me to the NOS Zenith I bought and installed. Life has been good again, Hal.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
