i had the problem on one of my cubs, [ i got rid of all them, for what i was doing with them, i was just asking too much from the tractor] but there are several things that can cause that . first you didn't mention when the gas runs thru, is is while its running or when the engine is shut off, gravity feed tractors when off must have the fuel turned off at the sediment bowl or shut off valve if its made that way on all my cubs, fords and allis Chalmers which were 7 tractors, only one could be trusted not to leak fuel......so far. next cubs float level is very touchy, the adjustment must be followed exactly, if you go much less, the engine will run out of gas if your asking a lot of the tractor, ie; mowing plowing ect, if its too much the engine will flood, also the needle and seat as mentioned must have a set put in it, i put the needle in the seat with the float out and just LIGHTLY tap it a couple times with a LIGHT hammer, dont over do it , it seems to help. also make sure your sediment bowl is actualy turning the fuel flow completely off, many new ones today wont and need to be worked on until they do, all but one of me cubs were using tractors, i mowed and plowed gardens with them, all of them had extensive work done to them in order to make them basically a new tractor so they could be reliable, some of the jobs i did were 60 miles away, not the place for a touchy tractor, but the last one you had to turn the fuel off anytime the engine was shut down, i had put on numerous carbs, and sediment bowls on the thing and it never changed, i still have a carb in a box on my truck lol

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
