Gas tank repair on a Original
After overhauling and painting the engine on my O, I discovered a leak in the gas tank.
 It is a seep and is coming from the outlet where it attached to the tank. The photo shows the leak where the fuel seeps and sits on top of the settling glass. I'm sure it's the tank and not the pipe threads themselves.How would one make this repair? Is this fitting soldered onto the tank? Advice is appreciated!

Yes, the little square fitting is soldered to the tank.
I have had good luck repairing leaks by re-soldering them. It usually only takes a little heat and some flux to clean the existing solder well, several times I haven't even needed to add more solder (that is not the norm). I always screw a long 1/8" pipe fitting into the square fitting to use as a handle, to prevent the fitting from falling into the tank once the solder liquifies. Lose one in the tank and they can be a bat turd to get back in place (trust me). Sorry but I don't know how to fix one properly without messing your paint up. Be careful with open flames and gas tanks...

i have used 2 part epoxy to repair pinhole leaks and bad solder joints. i have also used solder,but the tank was bead blasted first of all paint and rust. i would try using permatex 2 part epoxy first,just clean the paint from the leak area. mask off the area around the repair and let it sit for 24 hours. if it works then you can just touch up that area.

Thanks for the advice. I have a sand blaster cabinet and I'm going sand blast the paint off the tank for the repair. I'll just repaint the entire tank after the repair. Thanks!

If you purge the tank with an inert gas you won't have to work about the gas fumes burning while resoldering it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
