Hey yall!
Well, I wanted to thank you all for the replies to my last thread about my international 2444. I screwed with it for an hour or so today and found that the linkages, as I had them were wrong, and also, the way they were when I bought the tractor was wrong!
After some thought and tinkering, I had the linkage setup so that the throttle plate opens the right way, the tractor starts and doesnt surge, and just plain runs right.
Also, with the carb cleaning I gave it when it was apart, and the new fitting and fuel line, the tractor runs smoother than it ever has for me, plus it starts easier and doesn't leak a single drop of fuel!
While I was at it, I discovered that the way the previous owner configured the linkage, prevented the linkage from going all the way into its idle position. Once I fixed that, the idle RPM's dropped from ~1300 to ~800 and its much more pleasant to work around now.
I'm pretty thrilled! Also, thank you so much to everyone here who taught me what little I know about turning wrenches in years gone by, the lessons I learned here will always help me and it means a lot to me...
Oh, and one other thing. In the spirit of this thing always needing something done to it, I figured I might as well work on this brake linkage, the one in the picture.
When you hit the brakes, this lever slides forward and keeps them from disengaging, it acts like you set the parking brake when you didnt want to. Its a little irritating, because you have to hold the lever back against the tension of the spring attached to it, then release the brakes, every single time you use them. How should I work this, so that it doesn't happen anymore?
I cant imagine that it came this way from the factory, but I've also looked over it and cant find anything that appears to be broken or missing. Thanks in advance!

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
