[Farmall] f-12 fuel pumps

[John Gustafson]

Karl,
I have used both Gordon Rice and Fordson House for parts on my Regular. I've 
had good luck with both. I would also suggest trying Alderson Tractor in 
Sigourney, Ia. He had, believe it or not, a new old stock set of pistons and 
sleeves for a regular. The corrosion around the seal surface of the one on 
my regular was so bad I simply had to go on a sleeve search. Gorden didn't 
have them at the time and Fordson just had used ones. I was about ready to 
go to a custom sleeve shop when I found Alderson.
Alderson was suggested by someone on this site. I will say this though, 
Gordon seems to have a  very intimate knowledge of this old iron and seems 
willing to share it.

I was amazed at how many different fuel pump configurations I found on F-12 
engines.  Some have two removable domes with 3/8" hex valves, others have 
bigger valves, and quite a few units have nonremovable domes and fairly 
complex 'button' valves.

Seems like we've discussed this  before.  I've had best luck when I call 
Gordon Rice and describe the valves I need.  If I need something other than 
what he sends in his stock kit, he throws in the special valves I've 
requested.

Has anyone dealt with Fordson House?   I've read good things about them on 
Yesterday's Tractors forums.  They reportedly have F-12 camshaft bearings, 
which are pretty rare...

Tulare's only a month away.  I'm still debating which tractor to take.
