FARM CARBURETORS
FARM CARBURETORS
modern technology for agricultural use
We intended to modify tractor carburetors so they work better, but that ended up being a waste of time.
Technology back in the 1930-1960's didn't allow for proper design so we decided to start over!
Whether you are hauling farm equipment, fire wood, or pulling it competitively, these carbs are the best functioning and most precise carburetors ever designed.
Why not use an original carb?
How do you improve an old tractor carburetor?
Where do we make them?
Right here in Wisconsin using local vendors! Straightline Machine LLC handles the machining of our three main parts, while various local companies provide gaskets, waterjetting, and pre-made parts. We manufacture some parts and assemble the carburetors here at C5 Performance.

Why not use an original carb?
- Finding a rebuildable core is difficult or impossible to find (70 year old parts).
- Parts support is often lacking for a proper rebuild.
- Factory tractor carbs don't have mid rpm fuel adjustments so tuning is a compromise at best.
- We tested many carburetors from stock to highly modified. NONE OF THEM could pass simple tests for signal variation. Several carbs that were modified by "experts" tested worse than stock!!!
How do you improve an old tractor carburetor?
- The short answer is "You Can't".
- There was no other option... start with a clean sheet of paper using modern science.
- Replacing dozens of carburetors was no easy task but we felt a new American made solution was needed.

We built and tested several styles and sizes of carburetors to match the most tractors possible. Our goal is to eventually cover most applications using three models. The first one is the Farm carb.
"Farm" carb - 250 cfm @ 20.4" H2O - Designed to work on many popular tractors from around 300-450 cubic inches depending on operating rpm.
Threaded base (4 holes) use the common 2.69" center to center distance
1.75" throat inside diameter at mounting base
2.5" outside diameter at the entry (accepts 2.5" i.d. intake tube)
6.5" over all length
Mechanical features:
MSRP $1199
We began production in mid 2019 and (even with Covid-19 delays) we are shipping limited numbers as time allows.

This carburetor is intended to replace Carter, Zenith, Farmall Marvel Schebler, and others. Since there were dozens of models over the years, it is not practical to replace or copy every model.
