• OT: fuel pump for IH v345

    From bob prohaska@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 4 02:48:12 2022
    Apologies for the OT post, skip now if you're a purist 8-)

    The fuel pump on my '72 IH Scout 2 v345 still works, but it's
    getting old and I'd like to rebuild it if possible.

    Does anybody know a source for parts? I can find a whole pump,
    but it's obviously new construction with a crimped assembly
    that is 100% throw-away. I'd be willing to spend a bit more to
    keep the "fixable" aspect of the old pump. The diaphragms are
    the essential parts, I can probably make the rod (metalworking
    content!) and gaskets.

    Thanks for reading, and any clues!

    There is an Ebay seller here that has a lot of kits:

    https://www.ebay.com/str/arizonavintageparts

    I didn't see the one you want listed but it may be worth contacting
    them and see what they have to say.

    Rockauto lists four different pumps for that:

    https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/international,1972,scout+ii,5.6l+345cid+v8,1405998,fuel+&+air,fuel+pump,6256

    The cheapest one is only $11.45 + shipping...
