I have a Ford 850 no 8016 tractor and want to rebuild the carburetor. It has Zenith stamped on the side.
Below is a picture can any one tell me the rebuild kit I need and manual. Other forum said this is not the correct carb.
So where do i get a used one for a good price?

Your 850 originally had a Marvel Schebler carb on it. There were 2 models used- the TSX706 and I think the TSX593 may have been the other one. They show up on Fleabay fairly regularly and rebuildable cores sell for around $50.
Aren't there any numbers on your Zenith? If you can find a number I bet you can find a kit for it.

The tractor runs good. Issue is after about 2 hours the tractor just dies. I hit the side of the carb with a hammer and the tractor runs. I thought the float was sticking and the hammer move it. So I am thinging a kit is needed. So is the float the issue? Does the carb really need to be rebuilt. Also is this bowl OK it seem to work or is it the small bow causing the issue?
 
I know nothing about Zenith carbs- I have always kept my Marvel Scheblers. However it definitely sounds like your float and/or needle valve is getting stuck in the closed position. You might get lucky and open up the carb without tearing the gasket so you can investigate the problem. If you tear the gasket you will need to make your own (if possible) or buy the kit.
This website sells a Zenith carb for the 800 series and it is part number 13877 (look at Tractor Parts in the top left corner of this page). Contact them and see if they sell a kit for it.
