Huber Maintainer? need help identifiyng

[IbNoelS]

I just got what was told was a Huber Maintainer.

Not sure has a tag on frame with HM4905

It has Hercules engine, flat head six with number on alternator side die cast in REG-1
& on starter side stamped on block near head OXC5 over 742709.

I need a carburetor kit for the engine and down the road will need at least a ring job as it is smoking pretty heavy (I don't want it to die of lung cancer just yet) .

I've taken pictures close up of engine

Was running when I got it but did not notice that the gas cap went missing on the trip home (500+ miles) and had heavy rain this past Monday and ran tractor before I noticed the missing gas cap. I have drained the gas tank and cleaned the sediment bowls (yes it has 2) put in a dry gas treatment and 5 gallons of fresh gas with the marine type engine stable in it. drained the carb bowl and tried to start it and notices gas coming out of the throttle linkage point of the carb. I am thinking that the float is stock open.

thanks

Hercules isn't still making engines but there is a group who are making parts and rebuilding existing engines.

Neat tractor!!

I'm restoring a 1951 Minneapolis Moline BF tractor that has a 4-cyl Hercules engine (model ISB3SL).

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...62478-mid-mount-milimeter-bf-restoration.html

No compression so complete engine rebuild ($800 parts, $800 labor). Got the rebuild kit from Hercano Propulsion in Newark, OH

Got the carb rebuild kit from Steiner Tractor parts

Steiner Tractor Parts - New Restoration Quality Parts for Antique Tractors

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

That should be IXB3SL on that Hercules engine in my MM BF tractor.

did you find carb kit, i have same number hm5219 need carb kit i know it is a zenith carb

If its a Zenith carb, get the number off of the top casting. That is the carb model number and what you will need to order a rebuild kit for it. Once you get the number I would look to see if Steiner Tractor has the kit.
