8N Carb Numbers?

It's my 1951 8N.

In the service manual, this has a MS TSX241 carb.

In the YTC parts lists, I see rebuild kits for TSX241A, B, C, etc, but not for straight TSX241.

I dunno what's on the tractor, and if it keeps behaving, I don't care, but I'm a little concerned about the part number issue when the day comes that I have to tear it down.

SO, the question is whether the parts lists on the site are just missing the no-letter version, or was my original carb some kind of dead end?

On a slightly related note, my fuel flow was about 3 ounces in 2 minutes, so I'll be cleaning/replacing filters. When I pulled the elbow fitting, there is HAIR sticking out through the mesh in the filter! No idea how it got there, looks fine like cat fur. I should find a museum that collects oddball stuff and send it to them.

The other filters? Won't know until the tank drains into the jerry can. After an hour, it looks like the level in the tank has gone down a LITTLE . . .trickle, trickle, trickle . . .
 
Sounds like you have other issues you are addressing, so take care of those first.
If you need to buy a carb kit, you need to know what carb it is, not what the manual says.
A picture would help identify it.
If you have an original Marvel Schebler, regardless of TSX-33/241A/B/C

Most of the time, [b:39375e9ab4]this[/b:39375e9ab4] one is all you need for any of them.
 
All N Ford tractor M/S carbs were superseded by the TSX-241B and all should be rebuilt to TSX-241B specs. A TSX-241B suitable kit is what you need.
