International 4000 swather

[carebear300]

I have had the gas tank off three times now and got it fixed and it is leaking once again. Has anybody else had this trouble? Is it possible to buy a new gas tank anywhere to fit? Or does anybody have any other suggestions to solve my problem? Swather is really good otherwise.

I know this is off topic but I have been told more than once that these are very good for swathing pulses? Would like to pass on your info to a neighbor of mine who is discouraged to maybe not growing lentils for second time because swathing was such a bad experience.

The swather is awesome for cutting lentils. I haven't swathed lentils for a number of years use a flex header but sure used to swath them. It cuts real close to the ground and has the guage wheels also has a turnbuckle to adjust to set the angle of the cutter bar(optional hydraulic ram to change on the go if you want but never found it necessary so never spent the money).

I would check with some of the salvage yards, I'm sure you could find one there. Don't recommend welding (maybe scare everyone for Halloween!)

Ty seedman for your reply, just never thought of a wrecker for swather parts, too many hour harvesting wet crops has soaked up my brain lol thanks again.
