Hi Everyone,
Am assisting a friend who is completing restoration of a Fordson Standard tractor.
Despite much effort, he has been unable to source a good fuel tank and set of brake drums for this model.
Have tried many web suppliers without success.
Most grateful for any help in resolving this problem.
Ivor.

Hi sound guy,
Thanks for your help.
Tried this site but it seems the Fordson Standard is too old a model.
Will try another tip I've been given and let you know.
Thanks again.

For JJ in BC.
Had a chat with Mrs Harris, who was very helpful.
Gave me a contact but wasn't too hopeful.
Will keep looking.
Thanks again for your help.

If the ends of your fuel tank are not rusted, someone who is handy working with sheet metal may be able to make up a new tank, using the existing ends and fittings. Heard of this being done recently here in Queensland.
