Can I solder it with standard copper plumbing stuff or will I need it brazed? I have access to a full machine/metal shop and a bunch of very skilled guys at work if need be. I see that the newer Cubs have plastic tanks. Will one of those swap in for the original, and, are they an improvement over the metal?

Where do I find the parts site?
This is where you can find a "sticky" called Cub Cadet Online Parts Look up. I plan on ordering some of these parts myself soon to have on hand. I used regular soder and a torch. It was not hard to do at all, just that my soder job was not pretty, but has stopped the leak thus far. I'am gonna bring up "Fuel Trank Repair" by Fer 100 and comment so you can read what the other Members have said about this subject! Hope that helps more.
