Howdy! OK, you may have a fuel supply problem. Does the fuel show up in the little window on the front of the carb? Does it stay at about the same level when you open the throttle and let the engine run up to at least 3000 rpm? If not, then it could be a bad filter or a tired fuel pump. Could also be a problem with the power valve in the carb, or a timing issue. Go thru each area, one thing at a time and then retest.
The H42, Ranger, and 3.73 gears should not be a big problem, especially if the Ranger is in it's lower range. What size tires are you running now? Does the rig roll freely on the ground when it is out of gear and the brakes are off? My original 2F, H42, Ranger in direct drive, with 4.11s and 35's was a big doggy, but it ran OK like that for years. John
