Default Plastic Gas Tank

Have a Cub 123 with a completely rusted with holes STEEL gas tank! Do they make aftermarket PLASTIC tanks for these NARROW Frames or would a PLASTIC off a QUIET LINE series fit under hood of 123? I want PLASTIC ONLY!

If not totally roached, the tank can be sealed with Red Kote. I did that to the tank on my 72 that had some pin holes in it. You can buy a qt. can of red kote from O'Reilly's auto for about $25, enough for a dozen cub fuel tanks.

But yes, you can buy a replacement tank from ccspecialties.org or one of the other sponsors. Or buy a used replacement from someone here or off ebay.

Check the for sale forum.

I've never done it myself, but I feel pretty sure a QL tank will bolt right in on your 123.

FWIW, I'm not saying they don't/can't have problems but the metal tanks are pretty good, I have them on all my Cubs (except my QL).

I know this may make the purists cringe, but i bought a plastic tank from Sears for $30. My metal Quietline tank was rusted inside and had holes in it also and I wanted to be able to put a whole new clean fuel system in it. Check out my album to see picks of the motor and tractor with the retrofitted plastic tank.

Now you have... Even if it's a bit of a "Frank"enstein tractor..

I wonder if a WF tank would even fit on a NF tractor? I certainly wouldn't mount a plastic tank on top of the engine as is done with the NF tractors.

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.
