I want to keep that space open, just in case I want to add hydraulics or something later. I was thinking of putting it on the side of the dash, tucked underneath the battery box...

You could put a fuel tank under the seat.

That's an idea... An old plastic tank from a Sears Suburban might work... But I think I'll be adding fenders later... I don't know...

It would be cool if they could somehow make a dash-tower with a gas tank hidden inside...



The videos are uploading, and should be up in an hour or so.

And, remember the tank ain't gotta be very big!!

I spread fertilizer with my QL 1000 for over an hour on Friday, I burned about a quart of gasoline.

My QL 1000 only has a 1 gallon tank, that is good, because it uses so little gas, if the tank were much bigger, the gas might get stale before I used it!!

I have ran this engine for about 3 hours already, and the level hasn't changed. Oh yeah.

This is a tank off a Honda 13HP vert shaft engine. I had it mounted to the side of the tower for a while but have since moved it to the space between the battery and engine. One other option is to put the tank in the battery space and then go with a smaller dry cell battery like this one http://www.stealth316.com/2-dynabatt.htm#g16ep

These batterys have plenty of cranking power, used to have one in my race car with a 383 Chevy.

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.
