"Tractordanp; Grab a mug of coffee and sit down...if you aren't in need of the full power as per the manual or when the weather warms up; another or...you have most likely run enough gas through it so what you have in the fuel system is fresh, I would turn that jet screw back in again to 3 1/2 or 4. It will save you fuel. Maybe you have already done this but; check the flow of gas at the sediment bowl by removing the screen above the bowl; checking condition of same. Remove the line where it enters the carburetor and peek at the end of same. There is or should be, a small in-line tubular screen-filter that you can remove (maybe some twisting action from a needle-nose pliers is needed) from the end of the line. It is quite possible your 1959-1963 model tractor has accumulated junk at this point. Also check for a good flow of fuel by turning out the carburetor bowl drain plug. Then it is off to the air cleaner assembly (my '63 Farmall was junkified); pre-cleaner, plugs, wires...I'm sure you know what to check. Concerning that no-flow air into your valve stems = corrosion, if it were me, I would replace the tubes, check the rims and add wheel weights. My 1955 Allis Chalmers CA all of a SUDDEN started leaking around the valve stem and it was costly! Last year I also had the rims on my International 460 (gas) sandblasted, primed and painted...there were corrosion spots that had made pin-holes in those rims as well. Oft' time the damage isn't seen until it gets severe. If you don't already have manuals, including parts, I highly recommend Mike Becker 'The Paper Farmer' a good Wisc. feller 715-762-1942 doing business the old-fashioned way; in person or answering a phone. Yup, others have their sources also. Would you please post back your findings; a new post would be good, so maybe others can learn also. Once in a while folks post that it would be nice to get responses to suggested help(s) for our and others learning...take the HINT! You are doing good so far! Thanks for posting, sharing photos, videos and good luck with your IH tractors.

Today's Featured Article - Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
