A very wise man told me years ago (and I have found it to be true) "90% of all carburation problems will be found in the ignition" Thats my 2 cents worth.

Morning Fergy Freak

One thing I learned over the last 5 years. When I bought my 52-TEA-2085 I had no clue about wiring, timing,etc. Heck I didnt even know how to change the oil. If you want the tractor, BUY it. Start slow and get the manuals. There isnt a thing on my tractor I wont tackle now. I find it a challenge to see a problem, try and sort it out and fix it. Just my thoughts

What ever you do, make it fun,,,,, Barry

The TO-35 Ferguson came in both "Special" and "Deluxe" versions. The Deluxe has a two stage clutch. Depress the clutch half way and the tractor stops. Depress it all the way and the PTO stops. This allows the PTO to continue to run while stopping the tractor, such as mowing near a fence or digging multiple postholes. The Deluxe 35 is worth more than the Special. Pay accordingly. As for not running well, it could very well be a simple carb problem as Gerald said, but it would be good to determine the problem before you buy. Running only when choked usually means it is getting too much air compared to fuel, which could be fuel stoppage in the line or carb as he said, or it could be a manifold leak. Just some things to think about.

Starved for fuel or the condenser is bad.

Fuel starvation comes from one or more places:
1. stuck float (bent and dragging on the side of the float bowl).
2. Stuck float needle.
3. plugged carburetor inlet screen.
4. plugged fuel line.
5. plugged fuel filter (often won't pass water).
6. plugged shutoff valve.
7. plugged inlet screen.
8. plugged tank air vent.
9. plugged passages in the carburetor itself.

All are fixable, sometimes nearly all need fixing.

And it can be a simple as someone having turned the mixture adjusting screws away from their proper settings. Then someone could have crossed the plug wires just to be mischievous.
