I would think the tractormeter would be as good as it gets as far as being accurate.
I've never really had much trouble getting them to idle, maybe I've just been lucky. Getting the carb cleaned/rebuilt is definitely a good place to start.
Sounds like you're doing very well for being a first timer. You must have good mechanical aptitude. My 202 was my first tractor, I bought it in running condition but needing a lot of TLC. That was about 3 years ago. The 202 has done a lot of work for me, it has a front end loader and a backhoe, it's been invaluable. This past summer/fall I picked up a TO-35 which was also running and had a front end loader and 3 pt. hitch which worked. I removed the loader because it had not business being on a tractor without power steering and I am currently freshening it up. I was hoping it would be my snow plowing machine this winter but I ran out of time to finish it before the snow came. Now that the due date is past I have decided to go a little/lot further with repairs.
It's a fun hobby, the tractors do earn their keep and it keeps me out of trouble!

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
