Super C Fuel Line Woes

The fuel line on my Super C broke today. It was apparently an after market part, a flexible hose of some kind, and had become VERY brittle with age.

Unfortunately, when I took it around and showed it to the Case dealer, hardware store, auto parts stores, etc., no one had the fittings to go on the ends.

I finally found a 5/16 flare fitting that seems to thread into the fitting on the carb and fuel strainer/sediment bowl properly. So I know the diameter and type of thread. But I'm not sure what kind of fitting was originally used.

Does anyone have a C or Super C with the original fuel line on it? Can you tell me what kind of material it is made of and what kind of fittings are on the end?

I've ordered a replacement line from this website, but I suspect it's flexible line like the one I had, and if I can find pictures of an original line, it might be worthwhile to try to fabricate something that looks similar, for authenticity's sake.

The 5/16 fuel lines were used on a lot of vehicles that had carburetors. They used inverted flared steel tubing similar to brake lines. You could use a brake line if you are using inverted flared fittings. If you need to
cut a line for size it would need to be double flared and any cutting needs to be done with a tube cutter. The easiest thing to do is to install a flexible neophrene hose and use the
push on barbed fittings. The push on fittings come in inverted male flared or the regular female flared for connecting to to a male flared
fitting. We used these in at work for years.
Alemite, Weatherhead or Aeroquip has the hose and fittings. Hal

Thanks. in reply to El Toro, 04-18-2007 17:12:31

In our little town, I was unable to locate barbed fittings with flared fitting threads - just pipe threads.

Now I know where to look.

I have the 5/16 neoprene fuel hose: I keep plenty on hand.

Those push-on barbed swivel nuts are easy to install and they won't leak. We used them at work for installing instrumentation on vehicles undergoing engineering tests. This included fuel lines for measuring fuel consumption, oil pressure and fuel pressure to name a few. This was called low pressure hose even though it was rated for 200psi. There's no hose clamps required on these fittings. For hydraulic pressure we used braided high pressure hose and
the high pressure fittings that could be installed with wrenches. Hal

I use steel brake line. It's cheap and bends pretty easy, although it can be tricky getting around the air filter etc. I don't feel safe with rubber or plastic hose as this runs close to the engine and could get caught in brush etc depending on how hard you use the tractor. Steel line (which I paint red) looks more origional also. I use compression fittings which are readily available. Dave.
