Default Gas tank bracket rubber adhesive problem…
I removed the sediment bowl off of the gas tank from my Cub Cadet 70 because I’m going to order a new sediment bowl assembly, but I had to take off one off the brackets to turn the bowl assembly off. What was holding that bracket on was a slightly sticky rubber that is wrecked from age and my removing of the bracket as pictured below. What adhesive would be recommended to put the bracket back on or can I get new rubbers somewhere?

You can use strips from like a bicycle inner tube (or something similar), or gasket material, as the insulator between the straps and the bracket.

Lamp wicks work great. That is what they used. Your tank bracket is broken.

Default Bracket Ebay
$75 is a bit steep for me right now, so here’s what I found on EBay.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/304692670995

That says it’s for an Original but those also had the K161 so would it fit my 70 too since it has the same engine or not?

This one specifically says that it’s compatible with my 70, but all the yellow paint is gone.

If you have a welder, and know how to use it, then that would be my option.

Default Welder, yep!
I just realized that my neighbor has a tack welder, and he said he’d let me use it. So, I am going to weld it.

The material's used for the pad on that mount, needs to be compatible with gasoline, and not turn to mush after a few months of use.
Lots of heat and vibration in that location.

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.
