THIS TRACTOR RUN GREAT AT FIRST BUT NOW IT WON'T START UNLESS THE CHOKE IS PULLED ALL THE WAY OUT AND IT NEEDS TO STAY OUT TO RUN. IF I PUSH THE CHOKE IN IT TRYS TO STALL. AFTER RUNNING AWHILE IT STARTS MISSING LIKE RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND EVENTUALLY STOPS
 
Ken please use upper and lower case letters in your post. all caps is like shouting.
The probable cause is a plugged fuel system. check at the carb inlet first, should flow like a soda straw to fill a 12oz can in 20 seconds or less. if not clean it. It could be in the needle and seat in the float bowl as well. Jim
 
Well first off say it is a 1949 says it is a front mount 4 speed 8N to me is that correct??? Is it 6 or 12 volts?? You can never give to much info but you can give to little for use to help you help your self.
Now this may sound funny but you may have a weal spark. The spark needs to be a blue/white and jump a 1/4 inch gap or more. If it is not all of those then you have found your problem area. Also you say you fuel flow is good where did you check that at?? Pull the drain plug from the bottom of the carb and let it flow for at least 5 minutes and catch it. Look at it for dirt/rust/water. It should flow like your going pe all that time
