Hello everyone
My '74 Ford 1000 has progressively become harder to start, and smokes until up to operating temp.
It really is due for a rebuild. With winter approaching, this might be something to do. My questions
for the forum are:
Has anyone here rebuilt their own engine/injector pump?
It seems parts for the rebuild, gasket kits and most engine-related parts are available. But finding a
supplier for the injector pump and its parts is problematic. Anyone have sources? From what I can
find out (which is precious little...) some parts are unavailable/obsolete.
This is a real little champ of a tractor. I'd hate to give up on it. Most 1000/1600 engine and tractor parts
can swap, as both are 2 cylinder. So that fact offers a modicum of hope.:mur:
Many thanks!
