These are for the next generation of tanks. The plastic tanks.

Yes but I thought they were out of stock. Non rubber bushing type. Can you send a picture of it?

This is what was original

 

 

 

 

I keep these in stock:

 

 

 

I like the single lever quarter turn action much much better.

Yes Eric but they look just like this less the rubber set up. I have had many Start Gen in the past. Far as I can see they do not make them anymore.

They're still readily available Gary. Lots of machines take them. They're what's known as a Standard Part.

Nice debate going on here Eric. But what I have seen in the past it was the other type. The 65`s and earlier where the clear bowl type. What a pain in the but those where install under the dash.

clear bowl type

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.  

 

Okay. I thought you were just talking about the valve itself.

 

Sediment bowls are available for farm tractors and they were the same type.

 

They too, are on the internet.... Just have to know what inlet and outlet configuration you need. 

 

[D_Mac 8,623]

I just recently bought a new sediment bowl set up. Then I came to my senses and decided not to use it. I ordered a 90 degree elbow and was going to use a shut off before the filter. Where do you order those @ebinmaine? I'd like to get a couple.

I was. From I understand it look like the bushing type with a screw in with filter attached. I have had original rusted set ups that had this shut off.

Most auto part stores carry them. But I think there cheaper than what Eric has. I tried two and they all leaked.

I'll send you a link to the eBay listing via pm. 

 

@squonk may have a source as well.

I ordered some online that were like the first picture I showed and I had to tighten up the nut on all of them. They weren't properly secured.  

 

 

Gary, try Steiner tractor for that sediment bowl.

 

 

[squonk 41,161]

You can get sediment bowls at any farm store or even Napa. They look cool but sediment bowls are French for GAS LEAK! 

[D_Mac 8,623]

Thanks Eric. Just put my order in. Might have to paint the tank now that I have to remove it. So it could be a spring project. Any recommendations on gas tank paint?

Yessir. That's this one:

 

 

 

 

Only difference is the shape of the knob. The round knob is available.

Rotary one here Wrencher  real original and can't beat the price.

Truth be told & I wasn't such an original fruitcake I like your setup better. Just so much easier to operate than me getting my big clubs under the tank.

Absolutely agreed. Not the easiest place to stuff my big meat hands.
