Leaky k161 gas tank....
I'm getting Really upset with my gas tank. I use jb weld.
First repair: leaked still Second repair: leak Third: NO leaks Waited a couple months LEAK. my gas tank is falling apart. After the PO of my original set the tractor to rot outside without a hood. It's now leaking where the threaded end is coming out where the glass bowl mounts. And around the threaded bolt. Any suggestions or tips on repairing leaks on a k161 tank would help. As once again, thank you all.

The threaded portion is soldered on. It has a square plate on it. You have to clean all.... and I mean ALL the gas out of the tank. You have to clean ALL the paint off and JB weld around that fitting. Then, you have to re-solder the fitting back on.
I suggest just buying another tank. If you've had that many leaks.... it's not worth the hassle.

If it's leaking at the nipple a new nipple may correct the problem.
It has been my experience that they normally leak where the insert is soldered to the tank.

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.
