Good morning MJ,
Thank you for the reply. I did not know the plough model number, so thank you for that! All I knew was that it was a semi-digger. The tractor we had "back then" was a 1954 FMD, and pulled a 3-furrow Ransomes. The ground varied between heavy boulder clay, and peat, which was infuriating!...as it would stick to the mouldboards of even a polished plough. We came from the Middlesbrough area of Cleveland, and when the farm was taken for developement, we farmed near Scarborough before coming over here. Gt Grandfather moved up into Yorkshire from the Boston area, and the family appears to have come from Links/Norfolk border. The Majors I have now are both 1962 Supers, one with a just re-built engine, and waiting for seals for rear end. These old tractors start better than most others in cold weather. Mind, I don't run the 90- weight in the rear end! Thanks again for your reply.

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.
