Dang.....
A few days ago, I posted about one of my H Farmalls that would run great standing still, but would stall if you put it in gear and let the clutch out.
It all started with the carb overflowing. Apparently the float valve stuck. So I rebuilt another carb and installed it. Carb no longer overflowed, but that's when the stalling problem started, and I blamed the carb.
Turned out I had another problem besides the float valve. I finally went back to basics and checked the fuel supply. Turned out the sediment bowl was plugged with fine brown crud where gas enters from the tank. I should have remembered, I had that same problem some years ago with this tractor. I dried the tank out then and put some liner stuff in it. Maybe that's failing? Looking inside the empty tank with a flashlight it looks like it.
Anyway, I solved the problem for now by pressing a small piece of metal tubing into the sediment bowl so the gas in the tank has to be about 3/8" deep before it enters the sediment bowl. I'll keep my eyes open for a better tank.
Actually, this tractor has my loader on it, and I've been wanting to swap the loader to a different H and at least treat this H to a coat of paint, if not a full restoration. It's been in the family since 1956 and deserves it.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
