I have a leaky fuel shutoff valve on my Farmall 200 that I need to repair or replace. This is included in the cast part that holds the fuel strainer assembly/glass bowel and screws into the bottom the fuel tank. I have been able to find strainer parts, but not the cast part that holds the shutoff valve. Anyone know of a good source for this part? It looks like cast part. I was thinking I could replace the whole cast assembly and it would include a new shutoff valve. Auto parts guys look at me like I'm crazy when I walk in with a handful of old tractor parts, but I live in a suburban area with no convenient tractor parts stores. Is there a good online source for fuel system parts? The vendor for this website does not carry the part. At least I could not find it in their online catalog. Thanks for any info.

If it leaks between the glass and metal, make a new gasket. If it leaks at the valve handle, thighten the cap or replace the stem seal. (Try plumbing parts).
Otherwise take it apart and see if it's corroded or dirt is keeping the needle from seating. Fine steel wool can be used to clean the mating parts.
You have nothing to loose by tryin' to repair it!!!

The stem seal is going to be hard to replace because the stem itself is bent to make a handle. The nut that holds the seal on won't make the corner unless I somehow straighten out the stem, which I am leery of trying to do without breaking it. I will make a new bowl gasket. Is there some sort of goop I can put on the various threads to help seal them off and still be able to unscrew them later? The gas line is copper tube and uses what look like standard ferrels. Can I get them at the hardware store as well?

All the shut-offs I have seen use a T handle.
'String packing' material for stems is avalilable at the hardware. It's about 3/32 in diameter. Of course it's for water, but it's inexpensive to try. Wrap it around the stem and tighten the nut. As a last resort, straighten the handle, replace the stem seal with a like material,and figure out how to make a T handle. Maybe some JB Weld and brass tubing from the hobby shop will work. Each size tubing will just slide in/over the next size.
The gas line most likely uses 5/16" compression fittings, consisting of a double tapered ring (sleeve) and a female nut. When the nut is tightened, it forces the sleeve against the tube and the between fittings. It will not leak if the tube and fittngs are clean and not bent or damaged. You can use a small amount of anti-seize on the threads to make it easy to remove later. Sealant is not necessary on straight thread fittings; it's only used on tapered threads like water pipe.
I just paid 9¢ each for 5/16 sleeves and 19¢ for the nuts at the hardware. They're also available at the auto supply. If you have leaks from the gas line, buy some copper tube and fittings to make a new line. I hope this gives you some ideas you can use.

IH still carries the entire assembly but they are not cheap
