From my understanding, one is for the alternative fuel tank. I can not find this tank. Any help in locating would be appreciative. [Reply]   [Send Email]

You could salvage a filler neck and cap off a later tractor where the fuel tank sat under the hood, and basically hang that assembly under the hood so it fills the hole. When they take the cap off it'll be a open hole into the engine compartment but it'll look right while you continue your search for the starting tank.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Most were removed and thrown away when distillate and kerosene fell out of favor as tractor fuels. You may never find one. If you do, though, be prepared to pay a hefty sum of money for it.   [Reply]   [No Email]

The gas was used to start the tractor and warm it up enough to use tractor fuel (basically poorely distilled Kero/diesel like distillate liquid) the tanks are often rusted through, or missing. Ebay is often a source, and the prices can be in the 3 digit range for good ones. Some may be found in boneyards, but not often. Jim   [Reply]   [No Email]
