I've got a Tafe 35DI tractor of early 90's vintage with a Sampson 324S engine. It has an inline Mico inline fuel injection pump which was apparently built on a Bosch patent in India. The tractor runs fine best I can tell, but is seems to have a fuel leak into the oil chamber of the pump and is coming out of a small steel line that I figure is a vent / overflow. I spoke to a dealer in Kentucky ( about the only one left it seems ), and a remanufactured unit is priced at about $1800 and that's me removing and installing the pump of course! Does anyone know of a repair facility in the U.S. that can do a quality, reasonably priced rebuild of this pump?? The kicker I'm sure is the parts kit availability. I know there's a danger of a runaway engine upon startup and I'm very careful to have my hand on the shutoff and be seated on the tractor when starting it. The tractor seems to crank and run just fine, but I know the pump's days are really numbered. I understand there's a need to maintain the proper oil level in the pump....that damage was already done before I got the unit. Thanks for any help you can offer!!
