Mechanical Fuel Lift Pump for Leyland 255-804 Series & Nuffield 10/60-4DM Tractors

Description

Nothing brings work to a grinding halt faster than a tractor that won’t get fuel to the engine, and these classic British tractors are particularly fussy about proper fuel delivery. If you’ve been dealing with hard starting, especially on cold mornings, or your Leyland or Nuffield is losing power under load, chances are your fuel lift pump is giving up the ghost. This mechanical replacement gets fuel flowing steadily again, so you can stop priming the system every morning and get back to reliable operation.

What You’re Getting

• Direct mechanical replacement that mounts exactly like the original with no modifications needed
• Robust diaphragm design that’s proven reliable in British diesel engines for decades
• Self-priming action that reduces those frustrating air lock issues these tractors are known for
• Complete with inlet and outlet fittings for a straightforward installation
• Proper pressure output calibrated specifically for these injection pump systems

Built for Real Farm Work

Whether you’ve got a trusty Leyland 272 handling hay duties, a 485 pulling cultivation equipment, or a Nuffield 4/65 that’s been earning its keep since new, these British-built tractors are workhorses when they’re running right. This pump handles the demanding job of pulling fuel from tanks that are often mounted lower than ideal and maintaining the steady pressure these injection pumps need to do their job properly.

Made to Last

This replacement pump is built to handle the specific requirements of British diesel engines and the punishment of farm work. The diaphragm material stands up to both traditional diesel and modern fuel blends without breaking down, while the pump body resists cracking from vibration—a common failure point on original pumps after decades of faithful service.

Good to Know

Installation is straightforward, but cleanliness is critical since these older injection systems don’t tolerate contamination well. Fill the new pump with clean diesel before installation to speed up priming, and while you’re at it, consider replacing the fuel filter too—a new pump can’t overcome a blocked filter. Expect some cranking to fully prime the system after installation.
