pezsox 31 #1 Posted December 6, 2013 Does Toro still stock part #1789 - gas cap, or does someone know another cap that would fit? I have tried heating it, PB Blaster, even Loctite freeze spray all to no avail. I don't wan to have to cut it off, but I am running out of opitons (unless someone has an exta hanging around hint hint) Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Allert 68 #2 Posted December 7, 2013 Take a look at these pictures & let me know if it's what you want. I had a few of these NOS caps they look nice but remember they were for a short tank. The threads I believe are 1&1/2 inches. Its yours if you can use it. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

victor3ranger 11 #4 Posted December 9, 2013 Do you know if that is the same cap that came on the 551?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,171 #5 Posted December 9, 2013 1789 cap does fit the 551 also and it has been replaced by 108011 at Toro. Between $25 and $30 depending where you go. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezsox 31 #6 Posted December 9, 2013 i was holding out hope to find one used, but a lot of searching and no luck. I would much rather get it off, but that is not happening! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,161 #7 Posted December 9, 2013 Most lawn mower shops will carry that common cap for less than $5 Or, do an ebay search for "kohler gas cap" to get one delivered to your door Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezsox 31 #8 Posted December 10, 2013 well unfortunatley it was not the cap that was the problem... The neck of the tank was rusted away. I am now wondering if I should be looking for a neck off of a tank (any tank) and see if I can cut the old one off, and weld a new one on? Any thoughts? I am going to post in classifieds for a tank also, but who knows what that will bring. totally bummed, because the tank is great, it is just the top 2 threads of the neck.
