We are restoring a 1930 Farmall Regular. The tractor is running good. It has an original IHC Model R brass carburetor on it. The problem we are having with the carburetor is that it leaks from somewhere at the point the fuel bowl screws onto the lower half of the carburetor. There is no gasket between the fuel bowl and the lower half. It looks to simply be a pressure fit when the fuel bowl is screwed tight. Has anyone had this same issue and if so, how have you fixed it? Can a metal shop assist with restoring the brass, etc.? Or was this a common problem with the Model R carbs since they came equipped with a drip pan/sheet?
Also, the channel iron seat mount on our Regular looks as though someone cut the finished/tapered end off of it or made there own. Does anyone know where a replacement might be?
Lastly, we are also looking for a belt pulley, 19-hole Farmall seat, and a round-ended right-hand brake lever.
Any assistance/suggestions will be very much appreciated.
