has anyone used or knows anything about the tire pump for farmall's that you used? I have seen them in the manuals where you would take out a spark plug attach it to fill a tire? If so I would be interested in buy one.
 
there was one advertized in the parts ads. they are kind of a useless thing anyway. you are pumping your tire full of a gas mixture , which is hard on the tubes. just think then you would be riding on a bomb. just my idea of them things.
 
Those were quite common back in the day. My Dad had one laying around the farm. I remember using it once. I think they were just a hose with fittings and a check valve.
I prefer the ones that work off the pto or battery.
I never trusted them because I didn't like filling my tire with fuel vapor.

So is it possible to get a pump that runs off the PTO or battery? I do not really need it but I think it would be great to have as an item with my tractors? I am not going to sell the house for one but does anyone know about a good price for them?

Thanks for your help.

look in tractor related items, he has a price of 250.00 which is rediculus also. maybe worth 25.00
 
I agree. 25.00 maybe If i need to pump a tire up I can get a new one or two for the front for half that price. lol.
 
I never thought about that. But I guess if your miles form home it might work. But for me and with the cell phone I can call and wait.
 
What I did on my 1206 was to put an old air conditioner compressor on it with the electric clutch. The compressor is a York vertical piston. Then I mounted one of those portable tanks on the back and when ever I need air I just flip the switch and the compressor pumps up the tank and I carry it to where I need it or stretch a hose to the tire on the tractor or implement and there you go. Spent Aaaaaaa, let's see,,,,, 6 bucks for the wire and switch the rest I fabricated out of the scrap pile and what I had around the shop. Merry Christmas, LarryT
 
Sears (I'm sure others too) sell a small battery powered pump. I keep one in my RV, along with a cheap plug kit. They are slow but will save you some grief when needed in a remote location.

Not a big fan of stuff that can't be bolted down. Something like that will grow legs. The compressor above is on an IH 650.
 
the york compressor is the one with an external oil reservoir (crank case w/ dipstick like a car)...correct????

They don't really work that way, or at least the later ones didn't. Had mine in the 70s. The spark plug replacement piece used a pair of flapper valves to draw in outside air. Think of the plug as a hollow tube with the hose attached to the top, and slots cut along the side of the tube. Inside the tube a couple of pieces of hard curved cardboard served as the flapper valve. Running at an idle the piston is pulling a pretty good vacuum, so the flapper inlet becomes the main source of air. Of course some fuel vapors had to be along for the ride, but I couldn't smell much.

They didn't work very well. Mine got me home three times though, from the true middle of nowhere, riding a motorcycle through the desert southwest.
 
The York was used mostly on the older Ford automobiles and by ARA air conditioners. The carry the oil in the bottom, the are not dry compressors, but they are the easiest of all to repair and the cheapest I have found in the4 wrecking yards. The reason i like the york is because you don't have to have oil in the intake and they are not made to cycle oil like the Frigidaire and other multiple piston type compressors. They are just small air compressors and work great. Thanks, LarryT
