Bronco got converted to electric fuel pump

Recommended Posts

I love my Bronco 14. That being said it tries my patience more than most of the others. It has alot of hydraulics mods and it has always had leaks to fix. 

 

But this latest was my fault. Or at least I thought so... I removed the balance gears last year and had no correct oil pan gasket. So I made one up, and as soon as I cranked it up it started leaking oil. So last week I changed out the oil pan gasket with a correct part. After driving it around, I see oil around the base of the engine again. :angry-banghead:

 

Turns out the oil was coming from behind the fuel pump. It didn't contaminate my oil but it sure spit pretty bad. 

 

So today I made a steel plate cover for the fuel pump hole and added a low pressure (2-3psi) electric pump. This makes 3 tractors now using them and I've been very happy so far. 

 

When all back together she fired right up and ran like a champ. Absolutely zero oil leaking now and everything seems good. Even with the pump pulling on the rectifier it is still charging strong. It settles down to 12.6VDC after a few minutes.

Yeah I just used an "L" shaped bracket and used one of the engine bolts to hold it. With the tank under the steering wheel there isn't much room behind the engine. 

 

I made a second floor on the battery box for another tractor, but since the Bronco has all that room between the engine and hood it just made more sense to me.

Yes I do. I've had one on one of my tractors for 3 years now and it works fine. Given they can be had for about $6 each, I'll buy them in bulk if I have to. I have them on 4 tractors so far.
