[AT] Fuel tank problems

[Cecil Bearden]

Steve:
That is what we are working on right now.  After 3 attempts at making 
one, I finally used the Bridgeport with digital readout to get the holes 
in the right place.  Had to repair the drive belt on the lathe in the 
middle of boring the plate to put on the inside of the tank.  If this 
was a 20 yr old tractor, I would not be so irritated.  The plastic boss 
was never welded solid at the factory.  It made it through the warranty 
period......
