Lewis,

You have an interesting issue going on. I would start out with Bmorgil's suggestions first, because they are a solid place to start.
1) Brakes dragging?
A) Rubber brake...

Snap on combination box end 3/4" and 13/16"
Part number XB2426A

You are welcome Sir.

I'll get you the part number for the wrench. I bought the set new in '92. Not vintage, but not new either. The offset is probably 3/4" or so.

The truck and wagon 11" brakes do only have one eccentric per shoe for a total of two per wheel end. They are much easier to adjust for sure. I found that a Snap On 3/4" offset Box End wrench slips...

All problems can be solved with a few good folks putting their heads together.

To clean your tank before coating it with Red-Kote, I use aquarium gravel to swish around in the tank to loosen up all the rust flakes. The gravel is clean and dust free, so there is not any more...

Your Carburetor is either not set right on the float or trash in the main jet. Any which way, the carb is your culprit from my point of view. Carb cleaner to start, choke pulled out just enough to...

Yeah, $195. Would lighten your wallet, but then the element can be changed.... At $25. It isn't cheap either, but if you are going for period correct....

Lewis505,

Although I run my filter pre pump, I do agree with Bmorgil on his fine points of putting the filter post pump. As a counter point I run a lined fuel tank, and am careful to put in clean...
