Well, I finally admitted to defeat with my dad's IH 300U. It started off with a simple carb rebuild early this summer. The tractor was over fueling, black smoke and missing.
Got the carb kit from a reputable carb site. Still no improvement. Replaced the float thinking the float wasn't raising high enough. Still nothing. I adjusted the float to lower the level of fuel. Again, no improvement.
Did a compression test and got 150 psi across the cylinders, adjusted the valves, replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and points since they were showing age any how. Still nothing.
Removed the carb and lowered the fuel level setting again and still no improvement.
All passages in the carb are clean and the idle jet is good.
When I shut the fuel off and let the tractor run out of fuel, it will run perfectly for about 15 seconds right before it runs out of fuel.
Finally told Dad to call someone else to fix it, I am done wasting evenings chasing the problem.
I have rebuilt several carbs and have never run into a problem that eventually I couldn't get figured out and the motor up an running.

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
