The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

I tore into my fuel system yesterday mainly to replace the lift pump (which fixed the fuel leaking excessively from the overflow tube). :D When I decided to go ahead and clean the fuel filter element after I removed it I noticed that it was way beyond cleaning and needed replacement.

I finally cleaned, wire brushed and rubbed enough and found the serial number.
