How to Rebuild a Marvel Schebler Carburetor on Case VA, VAC, VAI, VAS; Easy Step-by-Step Tutorial

[@The_Jonstigator]

I used this video as a guide to rebuild my Marvel Schebler TSX860 for my 63 John Deere. Just two differences I noticed. My emulsion tube had a jet under it and my choke shaft is spring loaded. Other than color pretty close. Set my idle needle to two turns per manual and backed out my load(main) needle four turns. Once started and warm I ran at full throttle and turned in my load needle until it ran rough then backed off one full turn. Never touched the idle needle. My tractor never ran better. Fired right up first try. Smooth no smoke. Thrilled! Great video Rachel!!!

Great instruction Rachel. I really appreciate the addition of The Case videos.

We just moved to Goodrich, MI, and have a small farm off Dutch Road. We stopped by the Steiner store in Lennon, Mi, and boy were we disappointed in the rudeness of its sales staff. My husband took a picture of me sitting in the store and the sales clerk said there's no taking photos inside the store! He further went on to say they signed legal documentation to prevent photos from being taken. We were berated and made to feel shame... (We won't be going back there again, and they should have a sign that says no cameras allowed!). Shame on Steiner ....

Good morning, Rachel. It's a delicate job. This klepter is in cars and tractors. We have to watch it regularly so we don't lose fuel or engine power.

Great video Rachel !!!!. I'm in the process of rebuilding a Marvel Schebler TSX-979-1 for a '79 Blackface welder and this Type A carb looks almost identical to it.

[@jamessmith7691]

The one on my tractor 8N, had the two holes in the throat clogged shut. I used a torch head cleaner which worked well. The wires are serrated to clean the debris out. Good informative video.

Well done and entertaining as always.

hi Rachel I always enjoy your videos

Great video Rachel, Wish you sold carb kit for my 830 case !!!!!!!!!!!!

I learned to cut hay on a Case very much like that. Very nimble machine. I avoid ethanol fuel with any of the power equipment i have now. Thank you Rachel.

[@dudleydeplorable5307]

Also avoid ethanol fuels...

[@48VAC]

I took the carb off my VAC more times than I care to remember. Tank was starting to deteriate and it would get into the carb about once a year. Nice part was it was a fast easy thing to do.

[@dudleydeplorable5307]

My gramps had a walk-behind rig. We had a mower, a plow, and rototiller attachments. The brand markings were long worn off. The engine was a Kohler. It sat for many years with bad gas in it. Such had turned into something that resembled prehistoric amber. Had access to an ultrasonic cleaner. It took awhile to clean but I was ultimately able to rehabilitate the carburetor. (could have simply acquired a new carburetor, but I like the PHAD "no parts required" approach. Ivan rocks. Eric O. rocks). The rig was a beast until the transfer case turned into metal mush...

[@4sl648]

Sounds like a Gravely tractor.

[@Mike--K]

I wish I had a Case VAC in need of a carb rebuild now that I know how to do it!

[@Peachvalley_gardens970]

Very informative I had this carb on my ford powermaster 961

[@michaelmijatovich8983]

I really enjoy watching when you do these videos just you no offense to dad lol but your an amazing young lady , best wishes to you all. I would love to rebuild a small tractor like that it would be a blast

[@pbtractors9246]

Great work 🥰🥰

[@blackriflemensorganization6139]

Magnificent tutorials as always! Your knowledge and skill are appreciated! Question: I have an opportunity to purchase a running/functioning, relatively clean, '49 8N. The seller is including a box blade, Harrow/Disc, and a 3 point trailer hitch. What would be a good price generally speaking for all this? I know it's hard to consider without actually looking the equipment over yourselves, but I am interested in offering a fair price for this equipment. any insight would be greatly appreciated. Do prices fluctuate by state or are these units consistent across state lines? Thanks!

[@montiraruba2831]

Rachel, I just got my John Deere 1951 B tractor. It has been restored. I want to replace the motor oil (flush it first) and flush the Hydraulics. It is my first ever owning a tractor. Can you show me how to replace the oil and hydraulic fluid? What oil should I use and what hydraulic fluid should I use. How do I flush the engine? and how do I flush the transmission? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Oh, it has an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold and engine block. Where can I get a new gasket?

[@ratt727]

Good tech session.

[@billg6166]

I ended up putting old idle jet back in. I just couldn't get the new one started. I noticed that the first thread on the old jet was slightly tapered compared to the new one.

[@randyvick593]

what is the loose bracket and how does it go on the float pin? what is the real light little spring in the kit for.

[@butchchastain6317]

Thanks for the video

Could you guys do a steering sector rebuild with power steering for a Ford 3000? I am having a hard time finding a rebuild video of one with power steering anywhere on youtube.

Rebuild my carburetor on my 49 case VAC using your kit tractor will not start now. Any suggestions?

[@robertm4925]

Hello I have a problem with the coolant tap in the Ford 2000, the tap looks like a butterfly with a tube in the middle. I wanted to change the coolant, I turned the tap to the right and left, nothing wanted to go. After starting the engine, it started to fly, turning the butterfly does not leak. How is it supposed to work?

[@JjJj-bq7le]

So you have the 8n sediment bowl as well?

[@paulkerling1834]

I didn,'t see you address the throtle shaft bushings. Affects idle vacuum leak can't control mixture

Smart lady,, be nice to see how to hook up attachments, like a box scraper. With out the attachments there yard art.

I just bought a mf165 that has not been running for years. The fellow that had it had pulled the carb to clean it and destroyed the venturi. I need one of them. I sure don't want to buy a carburetor because of that since the cheapest one I can find is 600 dollars plus a 150 dollar core charge.

Sorry, but I feel if you want to educate people, you would have shown us how to remove the idle jet. I don't care if it was idling perfectly, what if it wasn't? If I buy a comprehensive kit, I want every part I purchased to be put into my rebuild. No offense intended, I love love your videos!

[@scanner-rentals822]

The idle jet has a 10/32 thread. If the slot on the top of the jet is mangled and you are unable to unscrew it out, you can use a drill bit to widen the hole, and get a #1 screw Extractor into it and remove it. Then use at 10/32 bottom tap to chase the threads clean. The original hole in the idle jet is .032", so if you can clean it out and open it to spec, you don't need to remove it unless you WANT to.
