    ford 641 fuel stops flowing to carb

    I was having the same trouble, and it turned out to be the fuel filter assembly bolted to the carb. The aftermarket unit from tractor supply had the channel to the carb machined so the hole in the bolt did not align. I was having a terrible time getting it to run, and a buddy looked it over...

    Electrolysis Question

    I just started using this process, and have been monitoring the rust removal on various parts. Very light rust has been removed in as little as 6 hours, but the battery tray from my 641 took 48 hours with me removing it several times to wire brush off the scaly rust and paint. From what I...

    Cleaning a tank

    That is how I got the junk out of my gas tank. But this was after sandblasting the outside and letting it sit a couple months. I had also washed the inside out with acetone prior to sand blasting, so I was fairly certain most all of the hydrocarbons had been driven out. All of that was in...

    Ford 641 sending unit lock ring

    I spent some time last night looking at the autometer sending unit, and it came apart completely. I will be able to cut a new sheetmetal disk the size of the stock sending unit, and bolt the in-tank parts to that disk eliminating the need to modify the tank. I think that will be the easiest...

    Ford 641 sending unit lock ring

    I am sure I could, if the empty and full ohm readings from the stock gauge match those of the autometer gauge. Or if I wanted to use a stock gauge. I have bought these gauges (Oil pressure, fuel level and engine temp: Sorry for the huge image. And the autometer fuel gauge requires...

    Ford 641 sending unit lock ring

    Looks like I might have a bigger issue. I was planning on using autometer gauges with the autometer sending unit. When I asked for the specs on the sending unit from autometer, they gave me dimensions that should have fit the stock location. I knew the autometer sending unit was one that...

    Ford 641 sending unit lock ring

    Does anybody know where I can get a new lock ring for the fuel tank sending unit on a '59 641? I have looked at many automotive applications and nobody seems to make one the correct size. The sending unit is a fairly common size, but the lock ring seems to be an odd size. Or am I...

    641 Sheetmetal Question (Hood)

    I was puzzled at first regarding the two bolting locations on the dash. I thought there were two locations for the side panels to bolt to the dash. Now I see that there are two locations on the steering assembly for the dash to bolt. All of the sheet metal was bolted into the lower holes...

    641 Workmaster Radiator Replacement

    Is the one sold on this site the one made in India? In some of the old posts, it was indicated that the Ireland made ones were the best foreign made radiators.

    641 Workmaster Radiator Replacement

    I dropped my radiator off at a shop to get it re-cored. It was in a pretty poor state of disrepair. When I drained the coolant I only got about a gallon to gallon and a half out. It had been filled full two months prior, so I know there is a leak, and it appears to have been repaired several...

    641 Sheetmetal Question (Hood)

    Thanks for the idea. We have tractor salvage yard nearby. I might see if they have a better set of tin that fits better or some of the parts. I need to parking brake levers anyways. Or I might see what I can do with this nose piece. I had even thought of cutting a sliver out of each side...

    641 Sheetmetal Question (Hood)

    I am starting the process of cleaning up my '58 641 Workmaster, and before I put new paint on the sheetmetal I want to be sure it all fit together properly. All of the panels that bolt to the steering assembly and dash and radiator support appear to be in good order, but there is an...

    641 Parking Brake Controls

    Thanks a bunch, that is exactly what I needed. The parts diagram led me to believe it was only one rod, but that cleared up how the linkage works and was originally made. Again, thanks.

    641 Parking Brake Controls

    I recently acquired a 641 Workmaster that was built the first week of November 1958. I plan to freshen up the exterior and fix some minor items on it. Luckily the mechanicals are all in great working order. Sorry for the poor photo, snapped it on the way out the door headed to work...
