TANK FLOAT FOR DAVID BROWN K262724

The K262724 fuel tank float for David Brown is a fuel level gauge designed for tractors in the 90 and 94 series. This version features a 5-hole mounting flange and three dimensions that should be checked before ordering: 175 mm, 235 mm, and 315 mm. It replaces a worn float when the fuel gauge reading on the dashboard becomes inconsistent or disappears.

A fuel level sensor for the fuel gauge

Mounted on the fuel tank, this float transmits fuel level information to the dashboard gauge. Its role is to indicate whether the tank is full, on reserve, or at an intermediate level, depending on the position of the float arm. On a tractor used in the field or for transport, a reliable reading helps you better track refueling and avoid running out of fuel due to an inaccurate reading.

When a component of this type malfunctions, the most common signs are a stuck needle, an unstable reading, or no display at all. Replacement is therefore necessary when the reading no longer accurately reflects the actual level in the tank. For this category of parts, identification is based primarily on the part number, mounting type, and dimensions.

Identification markers for this part number

This part number corresponds to a tank float with 5 mounting holes. The comparable part numbers listed are K262724, K301062, and K309297. The dimensions to check on your assembly are A = 175 mm, B = 235 mm, and C = 315 mm.

These measurements are important for distinguishing this float from other versions that look similar. They allow you to verify the overall dimensions of the assembly and ensure compatibility with the part being replaced. If you are working on a tractor that has already been fitted with an older modification, also compare the flange location and the part number on the existing component.

David Brown Applications Mentioned

This model is listed for David Brown tractors in the 90 and 94 series. In addition to the cabless versions listed in the compatibility chart, the source also mentions the following applications:

• 90 Series: David Brown 1190 (with and without cab), 1290 (with cab), 1390 (with cab)
• 94 Series: David Brown 1194 (with and without cab), 1294 (with cab), 1394 (with cab)

The presence of a cab alone is therefore not sufficient to confirm or rule out this part number. For these tractors, it is still best to cross-reference the model, the replacement part number, and the float dimensions before confirming the order.

What to Check Before Replacement

Before removing the old float, compare the number of holes, the shape of the flange, and the three dimensions provided. On a fuel gauge system, it is also helpful to examine the condition of the electrical connections and the mounting surface on the fuel tank. A correctly identified float ensures a consistent fuel level reading without using the wrong version.

If you are replacing part numbers K262724, K301062, or K309297 on a David Brown Series 90 or 94, these identification details are the most useful checkpoints for confirming proper installation.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of this fuel tank float on a David Brown tractor?

This float transmits the fuel level to the gauge on the dashboard. When it is worn out or malfunctioning, the display may remain at empty, at full, fluctuate erratically, or no longer indicate the level at all, making it difficult to monitor fuel levels.

How do you identify this version with 5 mounting holes?

Identification is based first on the 5-hole flange, then on the specified dimensions: A = 175 mm, B = 235 mm, and C = 315 mm. These measurements help distinguish this float from similar versions and confirm proper fit before ordering.

Which David Brown models with cabs are specifically listed for this part number?

The cab-equipped models listed are the David Brown 1190, 1290, 1390, 1194, 1294, and 1394. The source also lists the David Brown 1190 and 1194 without cabs. For other applications, it is important to check the mounting hardware and dimensions of your setup.

Do part numbers K301062 and K309297 correspond to this float?

Yes, K301062 and K309297 are listed as comparison part numbers for this part. They serve as a useful reference if your old float has one of these numbers, but verifying the 5-hole flange and dimensions remains the best way to check before replacement.
