I need to pick up an air cleaner. do I use a 601 or 801 air cleaner?? Do I need to make modifications?? Thanks tank install [Reply]   [No Email]

The left rear corner of the 801 tank is indented to allow clearance for the large 801 air cleaner. [Reply]  [No Email]

The pic shows a 601 tank next to the larger 801 tank. The indent is clearly seen on the 801 tank. But since the difference in size appears to be below the seam and since the "shorter" 601 tank will be mounted on an 801 with the hood set up higher, won't there be room under that 601 tank for the bigger air cleaner? Does anyone have a side-by-side comparison photo of a 601 air cleaner with an 801 air cleaner? [Reply]  [No Email]

Since the 601 tank is smaller in height he may be able to add some square tubing under the tank mounting brackets with some longer bolts to raise the whole tank up. This will effect the fuel line placement but should be a easy fix. [Reply]  [No Email]

It actually has mounting strips similar to the tank on the left. Why is that???? [Reply]  [No Email]

I was starting to think I was the only one, and thought perhaps mine had the wrong gas tank on it. But everything else about it looks exactly like the one on the right in the picture.

It's a designed indentation for the air cleaner and not the result of an accident. [Reply]  [No Email]

You can easily see the indention for the air cleaner. Here's a photo of another 801 tank. [Reply]  [No Email]

He bought a used "801" tank for his 841 and when he tried to install the air cleaner it wouldn't fit. It turned out that the used "801" tank he bought was actually a 601 tank and the seam was hitting his air cleaner. [Reply]  [No Email]

The 801 series had the 821, the 831, the 841 the 851 and etc. As for the air cleaner you want the one that should be on that tractor as in the 801 series air cleaner [Reply]  [No Email]
