Hi- I have a Ford 881 that uses LP fuel. I bought it from my aunt about 5 yrs ago(they bought it new in 62) and it's really been a good little tractor. I've really done nothing to it except change filters and fluids. Doesn't get worked hard but has really been a great starting machine in any kind of weather.
Anyway-I guess until now :), it's decided not to start. I don't know much about LP tractors. I did try a little troubleshooting and it has good spark. I think the diaphragm in the mixer/vaporize or whatever the right term is. Without the tractor running but the vapor on, if I crack the line between the mixer and the carb, fuel is coming out and from I've read I don't think it should do that.
So I thought I'd probably start with a little rebuild on that mixer part. My guess is it's original- on top of it, it says ALGAS and then MET R FLO under that with a L.A. 21 Calif. under that. Dealer says none of the parts are available and the internet hasn't proved helpful yet so I'm looking for any help anyone can provide on finding parts for this little unit, or if you think I'm going down the wrong path let me know that also or if there some other Impco or other brand of these parts that I need to replace the whole mixer with? Any info or help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
