general advice and or opinions

(quoted from post at 17:24:23 06/10/19) Hello all, new member first post....brief bio: location mid gulf coast FL. due to a recent, well, impluse purchase of a MF 135 diesel, not sure yet but think maybe 1966 model. I find myself with 4 tractors and have agreed to part with two of them...I have only 11 ac. don't farm and after 30 years property is clear enough, also should mention not much of a mechanic. I have a 1960 British B-275 and a mid-60's JD 2010. the 2010 runs, barely, long story..the B-275 however runs great but suffers from what I call weeps and leaks. The injector pump,from reading think it must be a des cav inline, leaks at the fuel shutoff fitting and possibly other places as well so I ask; does the pump likely require a complete rebuild or just new seals if that is a possibity. regarding fuel pump I have encountered a number of times the phrase "missing 1960/must include" it sounds ominous, can anyone fill me in on this? on the hydralic housing there are 2 leaks one at the small adjustment handle (not sure but response control?) the other leak is at the bottom bolt that holds this unit to the hydralic reservoir. Is there a manufactured gasket available for this or do I have to make a gasket? If so, does anyone know what gasket thickness material is required? On items such as o-rings, are they metric on a Brit made tractor? I plan to order a service/parts manual soon in the meantime if anyone have thoughts on this post I appreciate the help! THX Dan
