I have been through 3 different types of new aftermarket fuel shut-off valves and everyone..leaked.
Not in the connections, but the actual shut-off did not do its's job.....any coincidence that they are all imports????? ???/
Does anyone out there have a favorite source for (if possible) american made ones? If not, I have contemplated--and would prefer-- to rebuild originals. Each of my 3 projects have the fuel shut-offs broke and screwed up.
Do they offer rebuild kits...mostly the actual shut-off valve and round handles...Thanks, Mark

I fixed mine like this. Quarter turn on, quarter turn off. Lost the reserve feature though. Do have a small paper filter inside the bowl.

My father would have thrown these pieces of junk back across the ocean. I know now why he kept every single part off the old tractors. As I examine the machining and internals of the original and the turds, there is no comparison.
The main problem with each one is there is no clean taper to meet the taper of the threaded rod.
The through holes are drilled from below and barely meet the other channels. I ground an old drill bit to match the taper on threaded rod and put bit in my tap and die T-handle and gently tapered the end of the hole...This helped 90 percent..still has poor threads and cheezey feel to it.

Mark, I had the EXACT same problem about 2 years back. Bought one at TCS, did not shut off, took back, bought another from TSC, did not shut off either. I bought one from this web site, they sent me the part number listed in the catalog, but it was a totally different style, it looked like ones sold at TSC for Farmalls. It would not mate-up to the steel fuel line, did not have the "reserve" feature, or the screen on the inlet side (in the tank). I called and complained, they sent me another wrong fuel shutoff same as the 1st time.

So, I went to Ford N.H. and got one for a Jubilee, looks identical to what was on my TO-20, cost nearly twice as much as the TSC unit. The N.H. fuel shutoff leaked a bit around the packing nut, tightened it a 1/4 turn or so, and has been fine ever since.
You are not alone!

I bought one at NAPA and it leaked a little bit, so I simply tightened the packing nut ( I think that's what it's called) located beneath the shutoff handle. The leak stopped. You may want to try this before you buy another one.

I had the same problem with aftermarket fuel-shutoffs. I bought one at a New-Holland Dealer for a 8N Ford. It fit my TO-20 perfect. Didn't have to do anything but screw it on. It's a quality part and cost less than most aftermarket fuel shutoffs. Cost about $25.00.

Hi Mark
I bought one from TSC Hardware. The cost was $35 canadian and no leaks what so ever. I installed it in about 15 minutes. You will need a spare set of hands , get your buddy to put his finger over the hole in the bottom of the tank, so when you take the old one off gas wont leak all over the place. I put some plumbers teflon on my new one before I srewed it in. Whall-a good as new good luck,, Barry
