Both our M and W6 have a little frozen condensation build up on the outside of the carb. I pretty much figure that it is normal. Swapping carbs won't make any difference at all, because they are the same except that one has a drain cock and the other doesn't. Why did the other manifold need to be replaced? If it had a crack in it or something, could it have been blowing hot air on the carb, keeping it from icing? According to the guys I have talked to, Farmall M's and such never had running problems in winter due to carb freezing(supposedly it was prevented because the governor housing blocked most of the fan air from hitting the carb). When the carbs switched to the other side of the engine (460's, 560's, 660's) trouble started, and dealers fixed it by running a tube from the exhaust to an inch from the carb, so the hot air would heat the carb body. I am not sure if the reasoning is right, but the fix worked on our 460 utility.
