This is a working tractor... needs to fixed before the acreage needs mowing again.
This gas tank is impossible to find so a simple replacement is out of the question unless somebody on here can find one somehow.
This has been working tractor with me for about 10 years now and it started leaking this spring and got worse fast so I took it off tonight to find a previous owner already repaired it. Apparently that stuff wasn't too bad for an external goo fix.
I WILL NOT do an internal sludge-and-dry fix. I have fought that stuff from previous owners for years on other stuff and will not do that to anything I own!
What is the best way to fix this? Would a machine/welding shop even touch this for brazing?
My best option at this point is clean it up really good to get down to bare metal and then 2-part epoxy it unless somebody else has any better ideas???
