Thanks for that link Spencer. Looking at it they also have a museum up there. Estherville is about 20 miles east of my father-in-law. I’ll have to make a point to go over there sometime and visit it.

I post this as much for the US diesel owners as much as for John:

Central Injection of Esterville Iowa is phenomenal.   I’ve used their products, services and visited their shop once before (in fact I bought an old atlas/craftsman lathe from the owner while I was there!).  They probably can build the lines.

https://www.centralfuelinjectionservice.com/

I have not found an old pump/lines/injectors I can stump them with.  Unfortunately for John, having dealt with shipping/customs on auto parts from your part of world(piston rods for a turbo charged diesel trooper engine - which are WAY more common is OZ that the US) I doubt this is viable; cost-wise.   But probably worth an email or two and some research to find out.


Of course shipping and customs has a lot to do with how fast you need it and the category used for the paperwork. Maybe slow shipping on agricultural parts is actually affordable? All I know is the reasonably fast shipping (~10 days) on the customs category of “auto parts” on my rods were more expensive than the rods themselves.

Good thoughts Cecil.  I'll check with my friend; maybe he tried that route
& was unsuccesfull, since there is only one injector repair shop here, and
I discovered that they are a bit behind the times!

Maybe a need to cast the net a little wider.

Our injector pump repair shop can repair and build lines.  Maybe there
is one in OZ that can build some like you need.

   Can anyone suggest where a new set of injector pipes might be

   said tractor? That tractor used the UK-built Standard 23C engine,

   modified his
   FE35 by the addition of glow plugs, but now the original pipes
   don't fit
   well, and leak.

   TIA
