PC - I'm not familiar with that particular Marvel-Schebler carb model. However the TSX series in general proceed like this: First make sure everything else (ignition system, spark plugs, valve lash) etc is in good shape and adjusted to spec. Otherwise dinking with the carburetor is effort wasted. Then: 1 - Start the tractor and let it warm up fully. (10 - 15 minutes). If there is any evidence of carb icing (frost on the exterior) wait for a warmer, dryer day to do your adjustments. Make sure the choke is fully open before proceeding. 2 - With the engine at idle, adjust the carb idle mixture screw back and forth. Find the spot where the engine idles fastest/smoothest. If necessary slow down the idle with the idle stop screw. Then repeat the idle mixture adjustment, leaving it again the fastest/smoothest idle. 3 - Next quickly accelerate the engine by grabbing the governor to carb throttle link and pulling it open sharply. If the engine stumbles or stalls, open the high speed screw about 1/4 turn at a time and repeat. If the exhaust smokes black when you snap the throttle, turn the screw IN about 1/4 turn at a time. Once you find the spot where the engine picks up without stumbling or making black smoke, OPEN the high speed screw an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn. 4 - Finally repeat the idle mixture adjustment once more - it may have changed a bit. Hope this helps!

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
