carburetor float for Farmall Regular

SweetFeet · Aug 30, 2013

Two carburetor questions on the Regular:

1. Are you buying cork or brass?

2. If brass, where are you buying them?

Thanks if you can help.

I put brass in mine. Fordson house, or marks in Rice ,MN has them with the arm already on.

GNPfatboy,

Ok, thanks much.

Did not know of Mark's in Rice, MN.

Rice Equp of PA only has cork - though treated with something for new types of gas. We had seen reference to brass though, so husband wants to go with that.

Go with the 'brass'. No 'coating' can withstand the effects of alcohol over several years. My 15-30 had the tank sealed and less than 10 years later the coating was letting 'go', causing clogging of the screen filters. A real pain, especially when in a parade.

FWIW, I have some NOS IH cork donuts. I would like to find someone who needs them. PN 16876 DX for model R carburetor.

I agree with the others concerning ethanol.

I get mine from Alderson, Darrel makes them up.
Brass is the way to go. oldiron29

Where's Waldo,
Thank you. That was our concern about a coated cork... would it hold up? Especially when they cost more.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks. Hope you can find someone who can use them. I guess we will go with brass.

Thank you very much. We will go with brass.
