Trying to clear up some of the fog that I have concerning the injectors on the older model Ford tractors. I have been trying to find the correct fuel injectors to replace those on a 1958 861 with the 172 engine. The Ford dealer here can order them for $195 each. The original part number from the Ford Parts List was DDN-993157-DRR which I don't see on any of the net parts suppliers.
The puzzling thing is that the dealer here said that the same injector would fit any of the 172 diesel engines as long as it had the same 11mm nozzel and the same pressure setting. If so I can find them listed for a 2000 Ford diesel 172 for $50-60.
The best price I can find to have mind rebuilt is about $100 each.
Can anybody shed any light on what fuel injector will work.
