Farmall BN, have a ton of Questions

Posted by spf150 on June 03, 2012 at 15:37:22 from (69.205.178.60):

I have an old Farmall BN tractor that I've been slowly going thru and I have a bunch of questions. I don't really know a whole lot about tractors so let me apologize in advance for the bombardment of questions.

First off, are there any online manuals available for this machine?

What carb is the correct carb for this tractor? I'm told that the carb that's currently on it is too small for the tractor to really run right. Either way it needs work, as soon as the shutoff valve is opened and fuel hits the carb it leaks gas BADLY.

Bird's nest is now gone but the current carb is visible in the photo:

What carb is that? Also, where can I find a new replacement for the screen at the top of the glass fuel bowl under the fuel tank?

At one point in the past the starter was jump started off of a 12V battery to get the engine to spin over. Could this have damaged out the magneto?

For the PTO, what rpm is it? Is there a list of implements that are compatible with this tractor? The tractor does have a hydraulic system, currently set up to work a plow on the front. Can I upgrade to a 3 pt hitch or is that way too much for this tractor?

Last but not least I went thru the gearbox last year and found a TON of water inside. I drained it all out, sprayed everything down with PB Blaster and WD40 then refilled the gearbox to capacity only to find out that it's leaking oil at the wheels as well as where the axle tubes connect to the trans body. What is the best way to change these out? I'm guessing that I'll be taking most of the tractor apart. Any tips for doing this or other stuff to look for while I'm in there? Are the gaskets available or will I need to make my own?
