Replacing fuel line on a 1966 Ford 3000, old line has seen better days. Will any fuel line work, and will regular hose clamps provide sufficient clamping? If regular hose calmps are not sufficient where can I find a crimping tool? The old hose has brass clamps, which has been crimped by a special tool.

What are we working on here, a gas or diesel? Which line is it specifically? Tank to pump? Pump to filter? Filter to ?

Diesel, tank to pump and pump to filter lines.

Don't know where you got those lines with the crimped fittings, someone else must have put them there, as the factory pretty much used formed steel lines exclusively.

Having said that, regular automotive type fuel line is fine for this application. The tank to pump is obviously inlet, so there is no pressure there. The pump to filter lines see about 5-7 PSI max, so again, regular fuel line and hose clamps are fine. Just make sure you get the right size, that is, dont use 5/16 inch line on 1/4 inch steel tubing. Might work for awhile, but eventually you'll have a leak somewhere.

Hey Bern, I'm not sure what type of line Bob was talking about, but my 4500 has plastic line with compression type brass ferruls on each end. I know the tractor came from England though.

Yes, the later tractors did have the plastic type lines, however the early thousand series used steel lines, at least the ones I've seen.

Are you sure that 4500 of yours came from England? I don't ever recall seeing an industrial English tractor, but I may be wrong here. What is the serial number prefix on it?

Bern, I went to bed before I seen your reply. No, I'm not positive it's a 4500, but that is what I was told it was. I don't have the model or serial number inside here now and it's raining pretty hard and just above freezing. I'll go out and get it when the rain lets up. Seems like the model was D5011K, but not sure. Like Joe said down below, there are a bunch of tractors being brought in from overseas. And mine was like he described, cab cut off(to fit in container), hydraulic swing motor for hoe(19-561), and outriggers do fold down but they are confined in the rear frame of hoe. Mine has Lucas electical parts. The basic tractor looks just like American except for the hoe. I saw one that was similar to mine except it had metric on the tach and had 4550 decal on it. Apparently these people get them at a cheap price because they get a bunch of them and sell them quick around here. I asked about the situation from the guy I bought from and one other but they change the subject and avoid an answer. I'll get the numbers and post back.
Thanks, Nathan

We use to have quite a few Engish 4500's aroud the Atlanta area. There was an auction company of less than perfect reputation that was bringing them over here to sell to unknowing people.
Almost all that I saw had what was left of cabs,the swing was of the old JD type with the power rotator instead of swing cylinders, and all but a couple had the straight down stablizers for the narrow streets and alleys they have overseas
Bern can correct me but best I remember all English Fords had a serial number starting with "B"

Sounds like a question for Bern.
