That's a really nice D2... the undercarriage looks like it is in excellent shape!

@Neil, this is a 5U, I’m pegging it as 1948. I definitely appreciate the carb advice.

Shoot, of course. I responded to the wrong thread - apologies! Someone else has 3J2008. Now I'm going to have to find that thread : )

Cheers,
Neil

Found some time to get the Mag and Carb off of the starting engine, now for some cleaning and on to the fuel lines. In have a tank located, need to get a carb kit and send the mag off for a rebuild.

Interesting, it's easier to remove the mag with the carb off, but way easier to get the carb off with the mag out of the way.

Yeah, I often wish the designers had been forced to work on these tractors so they could eat their own dog food

HEHEHE - Yes I did forget the white shop coat, that does make things easier and no one provided me a clean, brand-new tractor to work on, I'm going to file a grievance.

Anyone have a recommendation for a carb kit source? eBay?
