Looking for discontinued MF 471-4 fuel line.

[S32]

It looks like the fuel line I need has been discontinued by Agco. However I now have a Agco part number. It is 6202205M91. A company called "Aftermarket Express" lists a aftermarket fuel line that is a replacement for that part number. But they have quite a few "bad" reviews. Has anyone done business with them recently, or can you recommend a good aftermarket replacement company?

What's so important about that line that you can't work a way around replacing it?

I used Aftermarket Express a few months ago and got the part I needed within a couple of days, no problems

Are you not able to use hardline and bending/flaring tools?

Yes, I agree. Most any auto mechanic shop is equipped to make and install whatever line like that you need unless you have to get one pre-made and prefer to install it yourself, etc.

Same here with my MF563s.
Actually there are a number of parts that have been discontinued. Mine are only 2007 while I can still get parts for a Ford 8N and 9N which were 1940s 50s.
Went to a local automotive place and had a choice of regular or high pressure line. Bought it off the role.
It didn't come with the cloth weave on the outside but works just fine.

It's just plain rubber line that slips over the nipple at each end. Only thing to make is cutting it to the right length.
They are rubber line with a cloth weave on the outside for protection. My pair of 563s use the same lines.
When I went to the local Massey dealer the parts guy, an idiot at the best of times, said they didn't stock fuel line.
The automotive place had no problem.

It's just a rubber line.

It's just a rubber line.

At risk of nitpicking ...I know what you mean (and I often call it rubber line too) but I think it is really neoprene or anyway some material that will stand gasoline. Rubber air hose for example (actually rubber) would sort of dissolve in gasoline and contaminate the gas.

Auto parts store sells fuel specific rubber-like substance line by the foot in high pressure and low pressure varieties
