Don T.,
Beautiful collection. Must take awhile to park them. Ahh to have problems like that.

If I decide to go with the "thick" carb base gasket where would I get one?
Thanks to everyone for their input on such a simple little thing.
 
After work today, I went ahead and tore down the carburetor, and sprayed out all the passages and jets. I didn't find any smoking guns, but when I put it back on the tractor I did use the thick carburetor gasket that Matt recommended. She started right up, but I noticed something amiss about the cheap Ebay muffler I put on it a couple of years ago. The end cap was split right in the area where I put the arrow, shooting hot oxygen depleted air right at the carburetor. It's not exactly the kind of EGR system I had in mind for my tractor though. I only ran it for a few minutes, but I bet if I ran it longer the vapor lock would soon rear its ugly head.

Guys,
Brendan and Jerry,

It's a model 70, built in 1970 according to the serial number chart. The mainspring seems pretty stiff. There's no play in it. The belt (at least visually) is all over the place while it's running. Instead of a nice line where it should look straight and taut around the pulley, there's a lot of back and forth in it, but the pulley isn't sharp.

Howard, that is an Original built sometime between 1961 and 1963.

Charlie, if you're giving up on the 125 and #40 when should I come up and get them?
