So i just joined so im pretty new, go easy on me lol i am not a full fledged mechanic, i am learning as i go since i love fixing and learning new things.. My dad always believed that fixing old things is better then out right buying something new.. at lest you own it and it seems the older stuff handle much more then whats out there today.. anyways to the reason im posting.
Ive been trying to figure out whats wrong with my JD 112
It has a K301 motor and ive replaced the fuel lines,
put in a inline filter, cleaned the carb twice, even used a kit.
i have yet to change the oil, someone told me to use 5w30 rather then the 30 for a MN winter.. but ive been putting that off till i knew for sure.. i know there is a mesh in the tank and the tank had rust that i tried to remove with marbles.. so im not sure if thats doing anything to cause this..
Here is a URL to what my tractor is doing.

ive turned the high speed idle needle 1 and a half turns and the low speed 2 turns as said in the book for the tractor.. and it seems no matter how much i tinker with the high speed idle, it has no effect on it..
It can be stuborn to start, takes a little bit but when it does, low idle seems fine but when i put the throttle up then the motor makes a loud clapping sound, sometimes back firing.. there been random points black smoke will come out of its exhaust but fade or a little bit of white smoke from the carb.
I am learning as i go for small engines, even more so these old john deeres.. i was told to maybe check the valves but i quite dont know what to do or how to in that case.. i just really want to get this thing running to throw some snow.[/url]

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.
