Ok guys, I'm stumped (and nearly broke). Pulled a 1943 Farmall H home a few months ago after it had sat unused in a neighbors pasture for 10+ years. Here's a list of the things I've done.
Carb rebuilt twice (still drips fuel)
New exhaust intake gasket
New plugs, wires, cap
Adjusted timing
New fluids
Examined manifolds for cracks on intake
Put new temporary plastic fuel tank, hose, filter on
Checked compression-good
Shot some ether around the new manifold gasket-no leaks.
Oil pressure showing 60 pounds with a little blow by.
And probably a few things I missed.
When I crank the tractor, it starts easily with little or no choke. After it cranks, it has a slight pop or occasional backfire (every 4-5 seconds). Tractor has good throttle advance and acceleration. When I hook the 5 foot tandem disk on and start plowing, performance goes downhill fast. If i set the disk at any depth at all, the tractor spits and sputters, backfires and looses all power until I raise the disk up, then it recovers and does fine, with still an occasional slight backfire.
I'm running out of money and sanity fast! What am I missing here guys??
