rusty fuel tank fix
I used CLR to de-rust my tank. I filled it 1/3 full. Rotated 90 degrees once a day. 1 to 2 weeks later and tank was good to go. Anyone else do this ? I was surprised how well this worked. Hope this helps someone. Chris BTW, I did plug the outlet.

Inside of the tank on my 147 was nasty. Started with a 1" cup brush mounted in a paddle bit extension in a drill going over all inside surfaces I could reach. Then put a pipe cap on the outlet and filled with exaporust, turning it for weeks as you did.
Worked OK, but unsure what it looks like behind the baffle. Flushed it multiple times. Not perfect.. still get particles of rust in the sediment bowl, but functional now.

Spliting the tank
Anyone ever heat up and split the tank? I recently saw an episode on American Restoration where they did it to a small boat motor fuel tank. Once it was in two pieces they sandblasted the inside and outside. Turned out nice. I know safety is #1 and the proper prep is required but I was just wondering if anyone has any experience doing it.

I box of Baking soda and a gallon of vinegar. As a word of caution mix the two together in a big bucket then pour it into the tank. I let it set overnight and it was ready to go the next day. Does awesome on old fuel varnish too.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
