century 2035 manuals

[jb4192]

Hey Reg or anyone else that might can help, hoping you can help me as well. I'll take any information you can give me on my Century 2535 (manuals, web sites, etc). I've got a fuel leak at the filter. The threads on the nut that holds the sediment bowl are striped, causing a fuel leak. I also have a leak in my power steering fluid tank. Any suggestions on where i can get these parts or an alternative part? Thanks !

Sounds like you need a new fuel filter "head", although I am a bit surprised that the PLASTIC fuel bowl was able to strip the METAL head part.
Anyway, there is a recent post with links to a parts catalogue on line. From there once you have a part number you can probably get it from one of the on line parts places that are mentioned in other threads.
I use Fosketts in Woodstock, CT.

Thanks for the information Reg. I've owned my tractor since 2003 and this is the first problem I have had. The threads on the nut look like they were striped or partially missing from the factory. I'll give Fosketts a call as the local Branson dealers around here have a hard time getting parts. Do you have any links or pdf's of shop manuals or any of that type of information for Century2535 or Branson 3510 you can share? I have the 3T90L kukje engine. Thanks again for the quick response!

JB4192, if that filter head is like other Branson parts prices, it's probably $300+! You might be able to fix the threads with some epoxy.

If it were me, I'd swap on a big primary fuel filter (like a Napa 3407) to filter the fuel first, and let the factory one be the "secondary". It would likely never need changing again (well, neither of them would). I have plans to do exactly this to mine. (maybe one not quite as large as a 3407)

I have a Napa 3407 on my F250 (Cummins 3.9-4BTA) mounted in the rear of the truck, over the axle - and I have never changed it in 9 years. I'll bet I've run 10,000+ gallons through it already.

Why is it that hard to find that manual for Century 2035, I am desperate to find one and I even emailed TYM as they now own Barnson who Century went under, but no response yet.
If anyone can share that manual in any format, I will really appreciate it

these manual are not easy to find after 10 years the only thing i have even able to come across are these part books, the biggest issue ive seen is branson just never made a servicing manual for the F3550 and f4350, ( ive asked the service manager @ branson about this, before the merger with TYM). hope this helps
