nozzle on DLTX carburator

I have a 1948 john deere a and have a hard time pulling out the nozzle
on the dltx 71 carb.
What is the best way to pull it out and how.
 
We haven't had to mess with one in a long time, but we would tap the nozzle with a 1/4-20 tap and use a bolt with a slide hammer, never had one that didn't come out.
 
I have a 50 A and did the same thing as those below. Also, I am told that if the threads on the stem thru the bottom of the float bowl are gone, as mine was once, that a good machine shop can cut it off and replace with the threaded end off of one of the tractor spark plugs! Same diameter and threads, I was told.
 
I tap it and use a long threaded bolt. Use a big washer with a small hole or make a piece of flat steel with a hole the size of the bolt. Put a nut on the bolt, insert through washer or piece you made and thread into nozzle. Tighten up the nut against the washer which is against carburetor stem. Tightening the nut should pull the nozzle out.
 
Many years ago, I had one that defied every attempt to pull it. 1939 A.
I drilled a hole in top of carb and drove it out. Installed new one and threaded a screw in the hole I drilled. Still running.

7/8-18 THREAD Same as the spark plugs in an unstyled A. The later tractors used 18MM thread plugs.
 
I use a torch and heat the stem up and let it cool. Then screw a long metal screw in it, fasten the end in a vice and tap the carb away from the vice.
 
My 1948 John Deere A would idle ok but at higher idle it would run reall rough. My nozzel was complete opposite of being stuck. It was actually loose and would spin when i tried to put the tap in to remove it. And it popped out without a problem. Would this cause the tractor to run rough?
 
It was just a small slide hammer set. Mine has a larger screw threaded attachment than the last ones I saw for sale. My tip broke many years back and my cousin custom made a tip for it that really works good. I can still use the old part to pull throttle shaft bushings.
 
If your idle circuit is open and operating correctly , the load nozzle has no affect on slow or fast idle operation. I've seen them run pretty good even with that nozzle in upside down. It affects acceleration and load conditions only.
