That 'end' is the needle part of the main jet adjustment assembly, that's what these instructions say anyway... The side is eroded with some heavy corrosion. I buffed on it some with a nylon pot scrubber, no emory or sandpaper though. All the other parts showed bad wear. The throttle shaft only had one of the 2 rubber seals left.

All in all the carb was needing a redo many moons ago. When I bought the tractor the guy said he had just rebuilt the carb. Man, I hope he is just a bad liar and not a mechanic... whew, what a mess.
