If I run a full tank of fuel I'm glad to get off the seat to stretch my legs.

Found a harness at Patton Acres.

I'm not trying to make anybody mad because I'm not but I am a little dumbfounded that some of you guys are scratching your head on why I'm doing my fuel tank conversion. I'm looking at it pretty simply
1. I would like to have more fuel capacity so I can mow my whole lawn without worrying about it running out of fuel when I'm mowing the hills around my pond.
2. I have the fuel tank and all the parts to do it.
3. I want to make my cub my own and not like most others.
4. I wanted to do something that no one else has done and have fun making it work.
Sorry if I offend anyone but I just dont understand why my customization is getting bashed.

I didn't seeing anyone bashing you, merely responding to your idea. I think it's going to be more problems than it's worth, with re-routing heavy cables from/to the SG etc, but it's your tractor.

Thanks for your comment, I have to get a wiring harness and rewire the whole tractor anyway so wiring is not going to be a problem. Plus I got the battery cable run to the front already. The only problem I'm seeing that will take a little time to make is that I'll have to modify the tank clamps to attach to the battery box. I am going to get a Y and connect the two fuel lines between the front tank and the carb so that won't be a problem. That the only things I'm seeing I'll have to do.

Thanks for reminding me Lew! I was looking at that and I might have to modify it a little though it shouldn't be that bad. But with 105 degree heat for the next couple days it might be a while before I can get back to it!

This is going to be a neat project, Adam!



If you need to fill up multiple times while mowing, then I think this is a great idea to fix that! I'm excited to see this when its done, and I think it is going to be pretty neat! Reminds me of the old Fords trucks with dual tanks...

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.
