Thanks, guys. I got that adjustable needle valve on order through JD now. Part of my problem is that I can't get some of the brass jets out of the carb body, afraid I'll strip them out. I've soaked and blown them with 125PSI. I'll see how the new needle does - and check the timing.
Red Kote is available from O'Reilly auto parts in my area and also CarQuest carries it. It coats the rusty gas tank with a red plastic that seals the rust in. Good stuff but make sure you get all the loose rust out first. I used five pounds of deck screws, sloshing them around like a landslide kinda to scour the rust off. Also. rinse the tank out (I used gas so no chemical or moisture concerns) and let it dry real good, like a day, before putting the Red Kote in. Blow the fuel lines out too before you go back together. One more thing, when you are sloshing the Red Kote around the tank, get it all on one side, say the bottom, then flip the tank 180 degrees so the coating drips from the "top" onto the opposite surface. It is a more even distribution than you will get with sloshing alone. The stuff has the consistency of heqavy paint. Do the 180-flip on all sides of the tank to ensure complete coverage. Take you time and make sure it dries at least a day or two before reinstalling the tank. Good luck.

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
