Measurements Please

[KC9KAS 4,741]

I need some measurement for the shelf/base (what ever you want to call it) that the fuel tank sits on for a 654. I thought I saw the same type set-up on a Lawn Ranger, but don't know the year.

I have attached a drawing of this piece (that was removed on mine by a PO).

The end that is inside the hood stand may be slightly narrower than the end where the tank sits.

Any/All information will be helpful.

PM me for any additional information.

Thanks in advance.

A&B=5"

C=10"

D rear, side edges=1.25"

D front return flange with strap mount hole=1.25"

D front, side edges=.500"

 

These numbers are the best I can do. With the tractor assembled, it's a tight spot to measure inside there!

ducethree, thank you for the info.

I think you are telling me that the mount is 5" X 10".

Both sides have metal bent at 90* and the metal is 1.25" on the rear, and taper to 0.5" on the front.

There is also a bent piece on the front (that I didn't have on the drawing) that extends down 1.25"

 

I did see a drawing in the manuals that helped along with your information.

Now, how much of the plate sticks out from the hood stand, and is it level or angled up?

I'm just full of questions, aren't I!

It looks like the plate is touching the back side of the hood stand or "dash panel". I don't have an accurate way of measuring the angle, but the plate is approximately half an inch higher in the front. Also, it does look like you understood the "method to my madness" dimensionally speaking!
