Fuel Pump for 1951 Farmall Model H?

Anonymous-0 · May 15, 2010

My 1951 Farmall Model H has been converted to 12 volts. When I try to push snow on an uphill grade, I do not get enough fuel to keep the engine running. I think a 12V fuel pump might solve this problem. Has anyone added a fuel pump to a similar tractor? If so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Ron

i dont believe that it is nesessary.to install a fuel pump. need to check for fuel flow first. when you undo line at carb you should have a good steady full stream running out of line , with valve open. also check the screen in the brass fitting at carb, by unscrewing and blowing out with air. if flow is poor unscrew sediment bowl from tank and remove bowl from fitting and blow out or soak in carb cleaner as the holes like to get plugged up not alowing enough gas to flow out. check your tank also for rust or corrostion.this engine is not big enough to us up the gas that fast. the W9s had a fuel pump to prevent starving for fuel when working flat out, but thats a big engine to rely on gravity feed.you could be due for a carb job also.

I've had my H on grades so steep that I had to hold tight to the steering wheel to keep from falling off backwards, and the engine never did starve for fuel.

Your fuel tank is either low on fuel, or there is something foreign floating around in the tank that covers the fuel inlet when going up a hill.

Buddy had the same problem, we cleaned the tank, rebuilt the carb, problem still existed. It would run fine until he got to this one certain place where he mowed. Took me a little bit ot fiqureit out, but he was just putting a minimal amoun t of gas in the tank, and by the time he toppped this one hill, the fuel wasnt ove rthe hole for the sediamnt bowl, and he had almost run the gas out of the carb. I told him to put more than a couple of gallons in it, and he hasnt had a problem since.

The answers below are correct, a partially restricted fuel delivery will be unable to provide fuel when in a position that lowers the effective level of the fuel in the tank. Even a full tank can be a problem. Clean the system, and make sure it will flow as well as a 3/16" stream at the carb. Jim

I've never seen a fuel pump on a w-9.
