That's a great looking tractor! I have a gas version myself, from the late 1960s. (I actually found your videos through your RV toilet repair video … which is great!) Take care
G Day Donna and David, I did a clip a while back on how to repair this yourself if you are a bit mechanical. The clip is here

You should be able to buy a kit almost anywhere.
I see below you have had it fixed but the clip may help some of your friends.

Great channel!
Its a cav injector pump,simms pump on earlier fords.there is a good video on youtube on how to rebuild one.costs a fraction of a factory rebuild or alot less than a new one, just takes time and patience. Not rocket science, but dont think its needed tractor driving nice.ptfe tape do the job.(they are low pressure pumps)only a leak.
For 1200.00 you should be getting a new injection pump! Hope you have better luck with another mechanic or find a rebuilt injection pump.
Take Care,
John
