I have a 1953 Farmall Super C. The tractor starts right up and runs fine for a while, then starts sputtering and stalls. This has been an ongoing problem for a couple of years now. The tractor gets used a few hours every month doing some grading with a belly blade or mowing on occasion. I have rebuilt the carburetor with no change. Thinking maybe I'm not as good rebuilding carburetors as I thought I might be I sent it to a professional rebuild shop, still no change. I did replace the coil and put in a new plugs, points and spark plug wires. This seem to help for a while but the condition is becoming more frequent again. I've also replaced and cleaned all of fuel strainers and added the strainer that projects up into the tank. All the strainers are clean. The sputtering usually starts when the tractor is under a bit of a load. The run time before this starts to act up varies, sometimes running a couple of hours but this past weekend I was only getting 15 minutes of run time. After the tractor sits for a half hour it starts and runs for a while. Outside air temperature does not seem to be a factor. I am tempted to buy another new coil, but thought I'd try posting to see if anyone has advise on this condition.

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
