Woo Hoooo!!!! Got a tank for the 1000!!!

Well, SURE, a dryer will work, but this guy is a gen-u-ine Nebraska redneck, so he used what was out by the shed.

What about what's IN the shed? My dad cleaned out the tank from his 49 Farmall Cub buy attaching it to the wheel of the (edit: jacked up) riding mower. Lots of ways to skin a cat, I guess.

Thanks for the note. Congrats on finding another part for your project

Cement mixer?
What, the new dryer isn't good enough?

Sorry, it's long gone.

Are you going to be hanging on to the 1100G tank? I can use one if you will be selling it. (if it's not an "L") Thanks

Congrats on the find.

You have access to a small cement mixer? I know a guy that has wrapped gas tanks in foam rubber and old carpet pieces, then wedged it all into a cement mixer and let it run for a couple hours. He will reposition the tank to change the path of the rocks inside, and let it run again. Just a few rounds in the mixer and the inside of the tank looks like new.

Been swirling it around with kerosene and aquarium rocks for a few days, it's going to be good. Now if I can just find all the parts I "borrowed" off of it over the last few years.....

Been looking for over two years, ever since I got this bike which had a 1100G tank on it at the time. I'm cheap, not going to spend $600 for a tank for a $300 project. Finally found one, $40, no leaks, little rust, just a few small dents.
