Hi- I have a Ford 881 that uses LP fuel. I bought it from my aunt about 5 yrs ago(they bought it new in 62) and it's really been a good little tractor. I've really done nothing to it except change filters and fluids. Doesn't get worked hard but has really been a great starting machine in any kind of weather.
Anyway-I guess until now :), it's decided not to start. I don't know much about LP tractors. I did try a little troubleshooting and it has good spark. I think the diaphragm in the mixer/vaporize or whatever the right term is. Without the tractor running but the vapor on, if I crack the line between the mixer and the carb, fuel is coming out and from I've read I don't think it should do that.
So I thought I'd probably start with a little rebuild on that mixer part. My guess is it's original- on top of it, it says ALGAS and then MET R FLO under that with a L.A. 21 Calif. under that. Dealer says none of the parts are available and the internet hasn't proved helpful yet so I'm looking for any help anyone can provide on finding parts for this little unit, or if you think I'm going down the wrong path let me know that also or if there some other Impco or other brand of these parts that I need to replace the whole mixer with? Any info or help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
