Would someone please do me a favor? I need to take the gas tank off my M to get the rust out of the bottom of it. I plan to swirl kerosene and sand in the bottom of it to scour it. Then, I plan to coat the inside of the tank. While the tank is off the tractor, I hope to get something welded to the tank corners to secure the hood J hooks. It appears as if there is no place to secure the back of the hood right now. I don"t know how this is supposed to look.

First, am I right in thinking there is something at the front corners of the tank with which to secure the hood, and next, what does that something look like?

Would someone please post a couple pictures?
 
Dont have any pics, but thereshould be something on there that looks very similar to the parts on the radiator that hood latches hook to. Seems to me it would just be easier to buy another tank.
 
i have a tank at the shop, i can post a couple pics tomorrow if i remember. does your tank still have flat metal brackets brazed to the tank? could be the tabs have bann broken off. if so not hard to make some and mig weld them on. they weld to the bracket, not the tank itself.
 
Dan: Yours is quite a story - I think all of us who have been following it must wonder if you bought the right M. Regardless, we all salute you and support you for not giving up. I'm not sure sand is going to do anything much for rust; you may need some pretty good gravel or some nuts and bolts to get it really clean enough for sealer. Good luck. mike
