free gas cap

I received my free gas cap today. I thought that it was great service since I just ordered to about a month ago.

yes, its an ongoing thing.

About a year ago, I submitted the serial numbers of my three H's and my M. online.

A week later I received a box with five new caps. The caps must come in boxes of five, and they didn't want to repackage them.

A good friend of mine who has a cow ranch in the Nebraska Sandhills has 6 H's. Four that each have a dedicated job on the ranch and two parts tractors. He actually did get burned once with a flash fire from one of the original caps, and still has scars on his face and hands. I passed the info on to him about the new gas caps. I haven't talked to him in a few months, so I don't know if he ever got them. He did thank me and told me he was going to order them.

Hello,

I live in the Netherlands, can I also order a free gas cap? What do I need to do?

Could you please share the address where we request the new caps, I have 3 h's only one does not have the vented cap. Are you saying
I need to submit 5 serial numbers? I'll give it a try anyway. gobble

I ordered 6 last year. I recieved a box of 12.

Just the model and serial number for the tractor you want the cap for. If its 5, then enter 5 tractors, itf its one, just one tractor.
IH Gas Caps

Im not sure if the overseas trators are involved, but you can go to the link I provided for Tom up above, and find your way around it to see.

What models does it cover? I have f12, 14,
20, cub.

What is the problem with the older style cap? I have 4 Farmalls with the old style caps and haven't had any fuel problems.

is your 14 or 20 a 39? If not then its just the Cub.

Let me rephrase that. The only one on your list is the Cub. But years ago, when you could call about them, they would do the 14s, 20s, and 30s as well if they had the gas caps like used on the newer ones.

The old style can develop rust and clog the vent. If you have so much gas in it and open the cap, it can spray gas everywhere.

I've gotten in trouble years and years ago here talking about this program, but actually, it's time for
this program to end. The old low profile caps have a very small capacity to absorb gasoline as it expands
as it heats up. But, that cap was fine for use on most of the other makes and models of gasoline engine
powered equipment. About 1950 IH switched to the triple baffled cap, lots more capacity for holding
gasoline from heat expansion. And IH used that cap for decades. The new cap you get is that same exact
cap, except the two I got over 30 years ago had a safety catch like a radiator cap has so you have to
release the pressure from the gas tank in stages.
The original equipment cap, the low cap, approx 1/2" tall work fine if you add gas 5 or 10 gallons at
a time. Most of these old tractors don't get run hard for 10 to 20 hours a day like they did 50-60 years
ago. No reason to fill the tanks up into the very shallow neck of the tank like I had to do with our 450
gas that burned 4 gal/hour and only held 21 gallons, 5 hours run time tops.
If you need a new cap, your CIH dealer has them on the shelf for $25 plus tax.
