Good evening, My dad needs a good carb for a model c. It has a carter on it now with ut stamped on it. His 90 yr old eyes don't see any numbers, just ut. I am having trouble finding him a rebuilt carter. Everyone i talk to wants a number. Can he put on a zenith? Does anyone have a good carb of any brand they would sell? Thanks Lowell
 
This site has both new look alike carbs and probably rebuilt factory carbs for that tractor. If I remember right it should be the same carb as used on the A, and B. I do not know if I still have a carb off of one of my B parts tractors but I may
 
Thanks I checked with this site and the rebuilt carters are not available right now. they also wanted a number. We could send his in but don't know if it is rebuildable. According to the parts books they also could have come with Zenith or MS carbs. Can we just pick one of those?
 
Almost everyone throws the Carter away and installs a Zenith. I never had that privledge working in the dealership so got stuck making the Carter work as good as it was designed to work I guess. Did replace a few though.

Parts sellers get hung up on numbers when in the real world a kit for a Carter from a C will have the parts no matter if you have exact number or not. The real problem is the kits won't have some of the parts you actually need and a bunch of stuff that won't do you a bit of good. Most wear out the throttle body where throttle shaft operates and there is no bushing in there to replace so you still have a half, you know what, job.

Comparing the bowl gasket to a diagram is about the best way to get correct kit but it is the
Zeniths that have more choices.
 
Everyone I've talked to about Carter carburetors say to toss them in the trash and replace them with a Zenith carburetor. I got one for my Farmall BN here, they had the lowest price I could find (they're certainly not cheap!) https://www.mcdonaldcarb.com/product_p/14007.htm
