All the old packing is out, the nut is all the way in, the screw is all the way into the nut with the spring fully compressed. This tractor has been on the farm since new in 1947. I know the engine was majored in the early 60's. I assume fire craters were put in, 120# compression now. Carb could have had a change over then.I'll look for a longer screw.
My Dad and uncle bought this M new in 47. When my Dad quit farming in 50, my uncle bought his share of stuff. Tractor was used regularly into early 70's. Sat for a long time stuck, was freed up and used a little bit. Sat again outside. 2006 got it under cover and just now getting going on it. This is the tractor all us cousins who didn't grow up farming learned how to drive a tractor on. Lots of sentimental value and trying to do it right. Thanks for the replies. Brian
