Ford 841D - first tractor project (modifications)

[Soundguy]

it DEFFINEATELY could be the return line leaking unde rthe VC

i'd normally look at shaft / umbrella seals in a pump.. but if yours is rebuilt.. then.. look at the stem in the tank and the return line..

I am planning to remove valve cover this weekend.

I have all the repair manuals & parts book, but there is no mention
of checking the return line - what to look for & how to
spot the problem. (I used the forums to even get good
Info. As to the possible issue). If the internal fuel return line is the
issue, is this a straight up replacement or can they normally be repaired?

I did squeeze in the time to tack the driver's
side panel together this pm. The two sides are
Matching up nicely. I'm going to try & clean it
up and maybe get a little primer on it just to
Keep rust off.

Sorry for the poor quality pictures, I'm not very good
With these mobile devices.

Gonna get this hood sorted out properly & primed this weekend.

Looks good, could you post a pic of how you have the rear ROPS attached to the rear, I want to add this to my tractor and I just want to see how other people have done it

rops attach to the rear axle at the fender bolt locations.

I built subframe from front to back & bolted it every place the housings came together. I also bolted a cradle underneath each. I did attach the back end at fender bolts, but also added a cradle bar underneath. Everything is tied together, I don't know if the set-up is proper, but it is pretty stout. I don't have any photos with me, but I will take some tomorrow. If you look at my first or second post, there may be a few there.

These were in the thread earlier, I just copied them. They are hard to make out, will get better ones...(the bit next to subframe in 2nd photo is just a return for rear remotes).
