The struggle of that fuel tank! Interesting fuel shutoff; being a lever type and not the screw-in type. You did an excellent job with replacing that old fuel line with all steel. I imagine that took a bit of time to measure up. Awesome job as always. Regarding the wrench, I just took an old one here and made the bends to work around the limited space on my 871 SOS. Looking forward to the next video!
Dennis Carpenter has that fuel line and it should be a direct fit. I had my gas tank off a couple of times on my 640. First time to replace the fuel shut off, which is a bit different than the one on your 4000. Mine doesn't have the toggle plunger, but has to be screwed in to shut off the fuel. The second time I had the tank off was to replace the fuel line, which I got from Dennis Carpenter. I wanted to replace the sediment bowl which is similar to yours, which bolts to the carburetor, but the ones available has the inlet port further down and the fuel line won't reach it (it's about half an inch too short). I did replaced the banjo bolt seals, so I think my old sediment bowl is okay to use for now. I still need to put the hood back on, I'm not looking forward to those 4 bolts that are hard to get to. Nice job on the fabricated fuel line and flaring the one end.
Just what i needed to get started this morning on my shutoff valve leak. Luckily i don't have a loader to work around but looks like that good removal is still gonna be a treat. Thank you! What's the easiest way to drain the fuel from the tank?
You're welcome! You can use a transfer pump or siphon to get most of the fuel out, then open the drain valve on the bottom of the carburetor to get the rest. Good luck with the repair!
Not sure but I think, you want that rubber section in the fuel line due to engine vibration. other wise you may have a problem at the bottom of the tank. From engine vibration cracking the fitting, on tank over time. just something to think about.
Thanks for watching as always! I thought about that briefly but that would have been difficult! You almost need another loader tractor to remove a loader. :)

I don’t have a tenth of your mechanical knowledge and skills but your great editing make your videos very enjoyable.
Thanks so much Bob. I sure appreciate you watching.
As far as loader tractors go, this one is pretty good. Usually they are beat to pieces.
I agree. I think she was neglected but seems to be in decent condition.
Good Job 👏
Thanks!
Definitely a great purchase.
Yes.

Thank you. Yes, this is not a fun job. I hope I won't have to remove the tank again any time soon!

That’s a valid point. We’ll see if that becomes a problem or not. I don’t think it will but I’m not sure…
Thank you for the video. Always like them.
If you had to do it over again, would you remove the loader before the hood and gas tank?
