Good afternoon folks. I used to be an active member on here a number of years ago but my tractor hasn't needed work in so many years that I have lost track of my old user id and password. Well my old tractor isn't very happy so I need some help. It would appear that the carb isn't happy. I can get it to run on ether so I know it is fine electrically and mechanically. I get lots of fuel to the top of the carb and the little brass filter up top is crystal clear. However, I don't get any fuel into the carb. I took the drain out of the bottom of the bowl and there isn't anything in there. I even took out the fuel regulating needle valve and I don't get any fuel there either. So lots of fuel at the top of the carb and nothing in the carb. At this point I want to get the carb off to either clean it out, rebuild it or replace it. The two main nuts holding it on are 9/16". I can easily get to the front nut but I cannot find any way to get a socket, box end or open end wrench on that back nut. The only option I see so far is to remove the intake manifold and I really don't want to do that just to fix the carb.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to remove the carb.
If you have a better suggestion about solving my fuel problem I would be interested in those suggestions too.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. 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.
