Very inventive method of shake rattle and roll with screener. Maybe a few more times with it? Where did you source the other tank? Aftermarket?

I haven’t tried that red kote stuff but have heard decent reviews. Probably based on the interior of the tank being rust free though?

I do not see any rocks, is the new tank a direct replacement or do you have to make it fit?

The new tank came from Yesterdays Tractors. I made the mistake of ordering one for a Ford 4000. I didn't realize that the Ford 4000 SU used a different tank. And, I guess they didn't either 'cause when I finally got someone on the 'phone yesterday they couldn't, with any certainty give me the correct tank number. They told me that I would have to call F/NH to get the number, which I did, and they had no idea... blah, blah blah...

I've used Kreem successfully to seal other tanks, like this;

...with great results, but.. it takes time to do it right, and I figured at a buck 25 for a new tank I'd just get a new one. Anyway...

The rocks were in the pile. Then they were in the bucket. Now they're in the tank.

I have to make the new tank fit... right back in the cardboard box that it came in!

Time for a quick update.

After not being able to get a confirmation from Ford/New Holland as to the proper tank for this Ford 4000 SU I decided to take a chance and order the tank listed for a Model 3000, and guess what? Yup, it fits!

So, along with the new tank I installed a new fuel level sending unit, lock ring and sealing gasket. Also new fuel tap/shutoff,..and yes, there is a difference between the WIX filter that claims to be suitable for a CAV fuel system and the OEM filter.

The only difference between my new pump and the old one is the side cover plate. The original just had a blank plate but the new one has the provision for a return to filter line. Both it and the filter housing threads were 1/2 - 20, so I ordered a couple of SAE 5M x 1/4" NPTF adaptors ( I actually removed the o rings that came with the adaptors and replaced them with some copper washers that I had. ), a couple of 1/4" NPTM to compression fittings and some 1/4" steel line and plumbed the return line back to the filter housing.

That's it. New fuel system complete.

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.
