It's funny, I keep putting shiny new bits on this tractor and the rest is looking shabbier and shabbier haha! I may do what I have to do with it (move some dirt) and take her out of commission to get to the restoration... everything is starting to look like I'm putting lipstick on a pig Just noticed today that my fuel shutoff is leaking like a sieve and dumped most of my TruFuel into my lawn... I was looking at this valve as a replacement: It's about $30 and looks pretty close to the one that's on there. Anyone else have a direct replacement they've used? I've searched but couldn't quite find anything. I have some of those black plastic ones with the red knob... I can probably swap that in a pinch until I get a replacement. Lowell @wheelhorseman can fix you up for about $ 16 plus shipping. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product-category/fuel/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you start to feel like you're in over your head on what should've been a simple fun project / restoration build. I have my original fuel shut off, never used it but it moves freely . Yours if you want it, send me a PM and I'll get it in the mail for you no charge. Haha -- totally... that's how it happens. I'm already starting to feel that way. Thanks so much! I appreciate it. I will DM you soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will definitely consider that option as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorseNut 222 #29 Posted October 17, 2023 Got the gauge in and mocked it up, reinstalled it and did a quick hookup to the battery just to see if it works, and it does. What do you think? Not bad for a temporary fix. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHMan2012 170 #30 Posted October 18, 2023 I went ahead and cleaned her up and ran it through my ultrasonic cleaner, then blew it off and sprayed it down with WD-40. Like I said I'll send it to you and if it doesn't work you ain't out nothing but a few minutes time. Just let me know, thanks ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
