Got quotes for repair. Too much for boss to swallow. Common crack where the "tank" meets the frame, which is also part of the tank. Can't spend the time taking the engine out. Any thoughts on cutting an access hole to weld the crack from the inside? Thanks, Rob
find a 580l or sl fuel tank and put it where your battery box is on the left hand step and move the battery under the the pop up lid that holds the hood down done many and u will never have a fuel tank problem again and no more dieseling
Hey Bob, That's sounds like a great idea! I was looking at pictures of the 580l. Is that the fuel tank where the battery box is on the SK? Thanks!
yup try the wreckers you will never have to fix the fuel tank again done at least 10 machines nobody i mean nobody can fix a fuel tank on a 580 k or sk we even had them brand new with under 100 hrs leak they flex with the loader and engine
Just ordered a used one from Broken Tractor. Hope to get to it before the busy season
Just be mindful of that crack & check it from time to time - that it doesn't grow into something really ugly
Hmm... Didn't think about that, good point
