Went out from the mountains of VA today for a fast round trip east to Richmond to visit my Sister and her family. Temps around 95-98 degs F, probably pierced 100 in some areas - and high humidity! Even here in the hills, it's hot and humid. I hate to imagine how much hotter and humid it is as you move south or down towards Alabama or Mississippi. Georgia has to be scorching this time of year.
Saw a lot of hay on the ground traveling down early this morning and on the way back, a lot of those fields raked and tractors pulling round balers. Didn't see any open station tractors at work, all cabs, but one tractor had the doors propped open (gotta believe that's like being in an oven). Hot humid, heat of the day, clouds of dust rising from the round balers, big fields.

What is the hottest, most humid weather you've ran your tractor under a hard load, like round baling and it didn't even blink in those conditions?

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
