Got tired of replacing the lever type fuel shutoffs on a 64 4000, (3 of 'em in 5 years) the seal around the shaft would leak.
Tried fixing the last one , but boogered up the metal that holds the plunger in, got aggravated and JB Welded the plunger in place... couldn't close it but it didn't leak, and the needle and float were good on the carb, no problems.
Until a month ago when I dropped the tractor off to get rear tires put on, they pulled the tractor in their shop overnight, had gas on the floor in the morning.
Found Hobo's fix for a 600, didn't do the loop like he did, just cut out a piece of the line and put in the valve.
Napa part #WH A6770 for the 5/16 valve, cost 12.29 for the valve.
Cost me another 8 bucks for shipping, probably would have saved that had I waited for their regular weekly shipment, had I known that when I told 'em to get it I'd have waited.
Anyway, been on about a month, works like a champ.
Happy Thanksgiving
