Off topic in Ford Tractor but you guys are the best I know of so, here goes. I got a water tank fill problem. The water tank I am working with is apx. 12 feet across and 24 inches or so deep. The outside water feed pipe is 1/2 inch galvanized. The float valve will not shut off any more and at best will reduce to a fast drip, which causes a constant overflow. (Of course we cut the water off at the under ground for now) Let me see if I can describe this thing. There is a standpipe coming up the outside with an elbow on top that runs the 1/2 pipe towards the middle of the tank of water. Now, on that pipe is an old old brass fitting that opens or closes according to the level of water in the tank. That level is determined by at commode type plastic float. To get an idea of the float itself, look in the commode tank in your bathroom. I have ask tractor supply, the local worthless Lowe’s hardware super store and no one knows of anywhere I can find any kind of thing like that valve. An Internet search did not do much good either. If any of you remember the ole swamp coolers as we called them, they had a similar type shut off to control the water to the pads; of course it was in a small plastic tube. So, as Daddy is in the hospital recovering from a series of minor strokes, I would love to get this repaired before he even hears about it. Any and all ideas well be reviewed and considered.
