5220 Fuel Tank

[bigdeereman]

My fuel tank is leaking where the tank drain is located. The previous owner must have removed the factory drain. Does anyone know if the tank has standard or metric threads?

 

[Brimstone10x]

is it a cab or open station? I know on the open station fuel tanks the drain is on the left next to the rockshaft arm . should have a petcock 1/4 pipe, with a hose clamp around it. just threads into the plastic.

Not sure on the threads, but I had an issue with mine on my previous 5105. Wound up draining tank and replacing. Believe I installed with teflon and the clamp mentioned above.
