Does not look like he trying to win prizes with it at a tractor show. He just wants an easy way to get his panels off and he achieved that. Why does it seem like anytime someone tries to better their machine or do something that seems unorthodox to you, you get negative? So you would not do this to your tractor. Still no reason to be a negative nelly and ruin someones else ideas.

To bllwnkl, and all the other here that have made some type of adaption like this.. GOOD WORK! I'm not being patronizing here. It works for you and that's what matters.

Hey bllwnkl.
Not sure there is a spot on the tractor to do this but would it be possible to run a longer fuel line to a spot where it would be convenient to put a fuel shutoff outside the panel? Something like this maybe?

I want people to know that a tractor isn't supposed to leak fuel. If it does, then it can be fixed. No reason to adapt the side panels to be easily removed just to shut off a fuel line. Not that the adaption was a bad thing. I would do the same. But not so I could shut the gas off every time I parked the tractor. For your info, the adaption isn't a problem. My point is, if you have a gas leak, you should fix it. But your small mind only focuses on what it wants to think, not the bigger point/picture.

On another note, it's not your concern either. Take your own advice and don't worry about me. You're new here. I'm not. You think I'm going to change for some newbie who likes to post a lot? You're not the first, or the last. I'll still be here long after you get bored and leave.

He never said it leaked at the needle.

Im not worried about you. I'm worried that people will stop posting things like this because you will discourage them. Yeah, Im new here, and in the short time I have been here I have seen several people in posts and in my mail box say they were done here because of you! Sorry pal. You may get to some people like that but I won't be one of them. I don't get discouraged by keyboard cowboys. At what point do you finally realize for all the good things you do here you end up matching them with bad things? You say I like to argue?

I'm not going to debate with you. PM me if you like, but I'm not going to do this. You're childish, and it gets old.

This, so everyone knows is not the only reason it could leak. If you have a nearly full tank of gas and the cap is not venting "plugged vent in cap" pressure could build up on a hot day, causing fuel to come out wherever it can escape from. The weakest link will probably be the needle valve if all of your lines are in good shape and tight.

If the vent cap was plugged, it would have running issues. The old caps on these tractors just have a hole in them, not a vent valve. Pretty rare they plug, and usually obvious if they do.
"Just so everyone knows."

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.
