So - a quick update. The tank has worked flawlessly. I was able to obtain the new design. It consists of a new tank, a bracket, straps and bolts. Basically the same idea I had considered before I decided to go the "easier" route and nitch the bracket. The bracket mounts to the tractor then the tank is strapped to the bracket. This should have been TYM's design from the beginning rather than bolts into a plastic tank design so it could fail in short order. I did finish several other projects (two hydraulic diverter valves, two way radio, replacement stereo speakers, tablet, replacement / additional external lights, tool box, block heater and battery tender) on the tractor which I'll post when I have some time.
