No More Fuel In Tractor's Engine Oil

No More Fuel In Tractor's Engine Oil TRACTORS Miscellaneous 34-4-36 Lanny Vail, Bowman, N. Dak.: "The booster fuel pump on our 1951 Oliver diesel tractor that feeds the main fuel injection pump was leaking fuel into the engine oil. Not being able to find a new or rebuilt tractor pump to fit, I went to our local NAPA parts dealer and found a fuel pump for a 1950's 216 Chevrolet engine that had the right size diaphragm but the wrong size housing. I took the diaphragm from the new pump and it fit perfectly into the old 4146 AC pump's housing. "Problem solved. No more fuel in my tractor's engine oil. "For Ford 9N, 2N, and 8N tractors, the newer Hy-Tran oils that go into the rear end and hydraulic system are a little thin for the tractor's lift system to work smoothly. One solution is to mix your own oil by combining 1 gal. of rear-end oil with 1 gal. of STP oil treatment. This will result in a Hy-Tran type of oil that has about the same consistency as the fluid that came in these tractors from the factory when new."
