Fuel filler grommets on 70

susandiane · Jan 13, 2022

I had the tank on my 70 all fuel fixed (finally), but the grommets around the main and starting tank were pretty much dust. JD dealer nearest me didn't show them as available. I wouldn't really care except that an overflow or bad aim fueling of main tank would end up with gas on the heat shield and then on exhaust. I could mangle something up with split fuel line, but does anyone know of something that would fit good enough?
Advance thanks!!

Grommet on small gasoline tank neck is A4873R, nla from DEERE, grommet for main tank neck is R39613, subs to R82873, appears to be still available from DEERE.

If you GOOGLE the numbers there's all sorts of aftermarket sources for both.

Of course, who knows if the aftermarket ones are durable/long lasting, the way things are today!

I would be interested to know if you find a replacement grommet that looks like the original. I know the one I put on my 70D did not look like the original.

Not sure if this one below is even an original.
