I kept getting a flat tyre on my Ferguson due to damage inside the tyre.. I bought this tractor a few years ago for £40($56) and my mates all want me to spend some money on it to make it like new, but I keep on saying that to do so would devalue it because it's so original, (original tractors over here are going way up in value) So the lack of spending/misery has now turned into a joke, though sometimes I push the misery too far just to give them a laugh or annoy the guys that like everything perfect ! The tractor had a full set of old style Goodyear tyres, which are really sought after, and I did not want to loose the originality by fitting a modern equivalent, so I got an old large tube from a 7.50x 16 tyre and cut it , then fitted it over the repaired tube and sewed it with some farmer's friend, (plastic baler twine) refitted the tyre and it is good to go! And no money spent!!! LOL...Sam

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
