Facet Electronic Fuel Pump Installed 1962 Deere Dozer

Facet Electronic Fuel Pump Installed 1962 Deere Dozer TRACTORS Modifications 29-1-36 Henry M. Zubrzycki, Jasper, N.Y.: Henry likes the Facet electronic fuel pump he installed on his 1962 Deere dozer and also on his 1954 Farmall Super A (Purolator Facet, Inc., Greensboro, N.C. ph 800 852-4449 or 336 668-4444; www.purolator-facet.com). "Both tractors originally had no fuel pumps. They were gravity-fed. As a result, if I drove them uphill without a full tank of gas and stalled, I could end up going backward. The tractors start much better now. "The fuel pump operates on 12 volts, which worked out well since I had already converted both tractors to run on 12 volts. The pump comes with all the necessary hose connections as well as mounting hardware. It's small enough that you can mount it almost anywhere. "I got the idea after my neighbor installed one on his 1936 General Motors dozer tractor. It had a mechanical fuel pump that was worn out, and he couldn't find a replacement. I bought both pumps at a NAPA store and paid $39 apiece for them."
