Fuel line was clear (it's new line, but I put cleaner through it and blew air through to confirm) and the fuel flow out of the tank into the sediment bowl was good once I removed the fuel line from the carb. Then I found a problem. It may be THE problem.
At the elbow where the fuel line enters the carb, the screen on the end of the elbow was moderately gummed up. I cleaned it and got good fuel flow into the carb. Visual inspection with a probe light into the tank shows no rust, but my range of vision is pretty small.

So for now I'm going to focus on the fuel system. Last week was the first time the machine was put under any load since the fall, when I began working on the tractor.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
