Every since I started using my International A this spring it has not ran well. It is stored inside and I start it every couple of months during the winter but do not use it. It has a belly mower on it to use for mower. First, I had trouble starting it. Then I cleaned the sediment bulb (some rust in it) and the gas line. The blew out the carb with some carb cleaner. Seemed to run fine. This past weekend I started mowing with it again. It seemed to be missing, and eventually to died. I again took the gas line off and the sediment bulb. I did not see any dirt. I also took off the carb and blew it out again. Still did not run right. Gave up and and I took the carb into the local Case-IH dealer and had them soak the carb well and put in a new kit. The mechanic who worked on it said he did not see anything wrong in the carb. I put on the carb last night. Tractor was hard to start, would run for awhile, surge and act like not getting gas and then would die. In a few minutes it would start again and then miss and die. Gas does get to the carb, and the carb is supposedly clean. Any ideas. Would water in the gas do this? Would water show up in the sediment bulb (I have not seen any)? Previous owner had converted it to 12 volt alternator. Would a bad coil or condenser make it at this way? If so, how to do I check them? Open to suggestions and thanks in advance. A 2nd question, is a special spark plug wrench needed to remove the spark plugs? My sockets seem to think to get into the recess to get on the spark plugs.

I've heard the arguments for non-detergent oils but would never trade it for today's formulations. Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
