Default Collapsed tank

Looking for a new fuel tank, the front of mine has sucked in on itself and cracked. Been looking online with no luck, anybody have an idea where to get one at?

Havent tried local yards yet, trying to find a new piece if possible.

Dealer might be the only option for that..... and they are going to want an arm, leg, half your soul, left nut, and first-born male child for it......

Check with the yards around you, should be able to find one pretty cheap. You want the 26 gallon feller.

Make sure you get new straps also why you have the tank down.

Has been mostly all good, tank arrived at my work today via UPS, it did take 2 weeks instead of the 1 hey told me it would take, but they didnt bill my card till they shipped it. I picked up a new pump to go with it. The tank is a little dusty, but is clean inside(dusty, but no sludge etc) and looks like it is correct, will need a rinse out.

The bad.. the nipple for the line that comes down with the filler neck is broken off, there is some left, but Im not sure a hose will stay clamped on there. Going to call them tomorrow, I dunno why they didnt ship it in a box, probably would have saved that from being broken off. I may try to screw a brass fitting into the plastic and run line from that, I am brainstorming on it, dont want to have to fix it again.

Sucky part is I need to go camping this weekend, have a $200 spot paid for and others depending on me hauling their tent and some other stuff up the mountain. I have Wed. off with a friend ready to help do the install and work Thur. morning then leaving for trip on Fri., hopefully all goes well.
