1940 farmall H fuel system?

Anonymous-0 · Dec 2, 2012

Have some questions on the routing for the original distalite fuel system? Tractor is pretty original looking, has a 90 degree shutoff under main tank. This is routed over to bottom of starting tank where there is a normal IH sediment bowl. Outlet is plumbed directly behind the head and down to carb. Is this setup correct? After setting for 30 plus years in barn it started up on the old gas that was still in the tank, must be progress as new gas will barely run a tractor after 3 months. Tractor has working shutters and the manifold heat sheild so I am hoping all of these parts are correct as it would be kind of cool to keep it all original. Thanks, Mike

Yep, all correct. Later distallate tractors had the sediment bowl on the main tank and the shutoff on the small tank.

Yes, that is correct for the early models.
