Thanks ljones and sminkey. i knew that the very early JDs' used Kohlers, but my memory was slipping as to whether or not the spigot was set further in than the cubs. my tank is fine other than a very small weep in the factory seal. i'll take it off and sweat it when i do some painting this winter if we don't get thunder whumped with snow. by the way....THANKS kindly for the links to the manuals....it's been over 30 years since my last "O", and need a refresher on the lube service for the "creeper". when i get done messin' with it and get it all painted up, i'll definetly fire off some pictures! then i'm guessing i'll have to start looking for a 70 or a 100!!!!
