I need to replace the gas tank on a 400 I just bought. Does anyone know where to buy a new replacement tank? I don't think I want to mess around with cleaning it and trying to seal it. The tractor needs a lot of other work, battery box, convert wiring to 12 volt / harness etc, but the tank was so full of rust and gunk that I can't get it running long enough to check out the "mechanics" of the tractor.

Yeah, you're not going to find this thing new anywhere. Not much demand for aftermarket gas tanks for 400s/450s... Your best bet is a tractor scrapyard, or the good folks here.

Unless the tank is badly rusted, i.e. so thin that it's ready to fail, I'd take it to a radiator shop to have it cleaned and sealed.

Do as you wish with the tank I will tell you that used good parts for the 400 are tough to find there were apox 45,000 tractors made alot still in use and not in the junk pile the manufacture has discontinued most parts. Don"t get me wrong you will find all you need it will just take extra looking for a complete restoration on the 400 I just did mine last year Im in western pa. parts were $$$ and no as easy as a JD A or IH -H-M to find parts

I would try the best you can to clean it and keep it. If the tank is not beat up on the outside. The original is the best...

All 400 gastanks are going to have some "Issues" some more than others. There are several great methods of cleaning tanks here in the archives. Look up cleaning gas tanks. Buying a clean one would be OK I'd still coat it to limit further rusting.
