On my 60 when I go down the road the front wheels shake, What could the problem be?-- Next, I have to leave the choke out about half way, in order for it to run steady, What dose the left and right needle adjust, and what dose the one on the bottom in the center of the nut adjust?

There is an excellent article in this months (August) Green Magazine on front wheel shake and some ways to correct it.

Probably worn bearings and bushings in the front end. My Farmall Cub was running with part choke, too. It was water in the carburator. Dry draining it out. Although they don't have much in common, it might work.

Make sure the front end is bolted on tight. You have four bolts that hold the lower pedestal on that can work loose and let it wobble, also dangerous if it comes off.

There's lots of places for slack to develope in your steering system. One thing sometimes overlooked on a tricycle front is a bent roll-o-matic arm. The bent arm throws one of the wheels out of alignment with the other, and as you travel down the road, the traction shifts back and forth between the two front wheels, and they will shimmy like mad. If your tire ribs are scuffed dark black after a short roll on a hard surface road, you can suspect a bent arm. It's easy to fix, and cheap if you have a salvage yard nearby.

My 70 liked to do the "Shake and Shimmy" too. It turned out that rebuilding the Roll-o-matic took care of it.

You did not say if you have a one piece or a two piece ped. jack up the tractor under the fram check for slack in the roll a matic if it is not loose have someone hold the steering wheel an try to turn the front wheels left to right if you find slack there take the front part of the hood off. After taking the hood off take the top of the steering box have someone work the steering wheel an see if the shaft moves left or right or front to back, if it moves one of these ways bushing in the top of the ped. needs to be replaced an the shaft built up anthe bearing on the lower end may need replacing try to find a shopmanual in a parts house or farm store it is well worth the cost if you own a tractor. Try to get a I&t shop manual it covers the 50 60 70 JD two lungers it has save me a lot of money an time ON THE CARB the needle on the bottom is the main jet the one on the right is for the cylinder back of it aand the one on the left is for the one back of it do not do any thing to the right an left ones as they have to be adjusted one at a time with a tach to be sure you have each cylinder running at the same speed . GOOD LUCK
