I purchased a 1940 farmall M a couple weeks ago- took the filler cap off and saw something that threw me for a loop. I noticed at the base of the filler cap stud there was a plastic type substance. In disbelief I put the cap back on and tightened it down. Sure enough the plastic substance let loose of the stud with some surrounding metal. I am new to farmalls, is this a common break? Thanks for any help. --Tye

I've seen them broken before. No easy way to fix without changing the front cover

Use cloth rags stuffed into the hole in a way that blocks stuff from going into the engine, but so as to be able to get it out. Spray clean the area with Electro-motive, or Brake Kleen spray. Find a threaded insert (used in wood working, and plastics industry) with (I think 5/16" corse) threads. Use a drill that is just bigger than the insert, and drill out the area where the stud was located.
Use some side motion to score up the drilled hole to make the repair stick better, and do not go too deep.
Clean out the junk, and remove rags carefully to prevent getting them into the engine.
Put the original stud (after cleaning) into the insert, and use Locktight thread repair epoxy to cement the insert into the hole. Screw the lid on just so as to square it up flat. Do not tighten.

Let cure for 24 hrs if warm, heat it to 70 degrees with a heat lamp if it is cold. Then never tighten it like it was going to take a wrench to get it off. Good luck.
