Built for Real Farm Work
This sending unit fits a range of classic Ford tractors from the utility 501 up through the bigger 4000 series row-crop tractors. These machines were the backbone of farming operations through the 50s and 60s, handling everything from cultivating to hay making. Whether you’re using your Ford for daily chores around the farm or keeping a vintage machine running for special work, accurate fuel level readings keep you from walking back to the barn more than necessary.
Made to Last
Farm fuel tanks see temperature swings, vibration, and the occasional debris that finds its way into the fuel system. This sending unit uses corrosion-resistant materials and a robust float mechanism that stands up to the constant sloshing and movement of field work. The Stewart Warner construction means you’re getting quality components that will provide accurate readings for years to come.
Good to Know
Installation requires draining the fuel tank completely, so plan accordingly. Work in a well-ventilated area away from any ignition sources. While the tank is empty, it’s a good time to inspect the inside for rust or debris and consider replacing fuel lines if they’re showing their age. The gasket included with the unit ensures a proper seal – don’t reuse the old one even if it looks okay.
