Hello guys im a Minneapolis Moline collector and im an Operating Engineer in Peoria and been around heavy equipment all my life. Just purchased a Cat 22 it is a very complete crawler, sideshields, spark plug cover, everything seems to be there (mag is not original it has a bosch mag on it). Got it running, i rebuilt the carb, cleaned out gas tank, but mine does not have a fuel pump on it and i cant get it to run right, the manifold is cracked on the top side i think i can weld it up i dont think this is the problem. Was wondering if i need to find a fuel pump and install or something else? Didnt know if fuel pumps were optional or if someone has just taken mine off. Also what drives the fuel pump if i get one? Thank you guys so much.

Hi,

What is the serial number of your 22? I am working on a 22 in the 1J series. The fuel pump on it is a diaphram pump mounted on the front of the governor housing on the right front of the engine. From pictures, it looks like the 2F series had a pump in the same location.

I just checked the master parts book for the 22. It calls for part number 2B2521, and indicates it is the same pump on both series of tractors. A page that was added in the book in 1945 identifies another pump, part number 2F8427. The book is not clear, but it may be a replacement for the 2B number.

I live near Tanner's Orchard, North of Peoria in the event you would like to take a look at the fuel pump. You can contact me on 309/251-1036.

Regards,
Lee

A while ago some one told of a Ford fuel pump (I think ) that could be used just had to do a modification to the pump lever.

I'm getting some parts for my 22 from a fellow club board member in New York who seems to have a good supply of used parts. He may have one available. There are also many club members across the nation who deal in used parts.

mine is a 2f and seems to be in the same condition. some one ran a line to the carb wich is almost like its gravity fed, and am not sure if it will be starving for fuel? i have not tried to start it yet because im waiting for my mag to come back from the shop, i do have the fuel pump on mine but the sediment bowl is gone, my manifold is also cracked and was wondering if that will effect it at all when trying to start? please let me know how you make out, thanks frank

Your 22 will run fine without the pump. Just put about 30 hours on mine discing and it does not have a fuel pump. It didn't miss a beat. If you can't live without one e-mail me. - Wally

I have to agree with brewzer, my 22 has been running fine without it's fuel pump for years now and it's used for logging and vintage tractor pulls and has no bad effects even on steep inclines. The crack in the manifold would be more of a worry than no fuel pump.
