Oliver 770 Diesel Fuel line parts needed

Hi does anyone know where I can get the short (approximately 6 inch) hose for an Oliver 770 Diesel that attaches to the fuel filter on the low pressure side of the system? The one I have is dry rotted and is leaking fuel, tractor runs fine but I am losing fuel while it sits in the shed and that is pricey as we all know right now!

I've looked here at the parts list and on link_disallowed as well as a couple of other sites that sell older tractor parts. Is this something I could just pick up at Napa or something?

Also I haven't been able to find the screen/straps that go around the air cleaner to keep larger particles out of the air cleaner.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here are a couple of shots of the old girl. The first picture is just a side shot, the sheet metal aside from one of the fenders is in nice shape. The holes on the front grill are broken/stripped out too. I also included a shot of the back of the tractor with the new 3 point my dad and I installed from http://www.saginawcountytractor.com/ Its very well built and has come in extremely handy.

It's technically my dad's tractor but he's pretty much given it to me and I am hoping to get the money set aside soon to do some good work on it. My dad has restored several and I am hoping to make it a good father/son project.

My dad already helped me replace the seat and breaks and with help from some of you here I was able to get some break parts I needed as well and the seat back pipe. It needs all new electrical wiring for the lights etc but it runs good. Does need some clutch work as it doesn't have consistent pull with the overdrive is engaged. One of the fenders has lots of dents/ripples in it too from something that happened at some point.

Looks like a good three point on there. Good luck with it.

That hose has no pressure on it. Your 770 like all the early 3 digit tractors with a Roosa system did not use the little mechanical fuel pump. They relied on the transfer pump in the injection pump to create enough suction to pull the fuel through the filters. Of course a full tank of fuel would also create a force to help move fuel through the filters. Have you checked to see if the hose is still available? If not I am sure a good automotive parts store can make you one.

Yeah I was pretty sure it wasn't a pressure bearing hose otherwise I would have HAD to replace it a while ago Its in pretty bad shape. I've tried to find it online and can't find a source. So I guess I'll have to pull it off and take it to town and ahve a replacement made. I was hoping to get the replacement before taking it off cause I am pretty sure its going to just fall apart when I take it off.

Well sometimes the simplest things are what you have to do...For some reason I was thinking I would have to find the hose online but a quick visit to Napa with the old hose and they had a new hose for me pretty cheap and in under 10 minutes. The old Ollie is up and running again.

Now for work on the electrical system (lights and gauges) and then the sticky power steering.

I am sure I'll be asking for input on the power steering as I haven't a clue on that front.
