WHC-125 4 #1 Posted February 1, 2009 Here are some pics of my new GT 14. I will get pics of the deck and plow soon. And does anyone know how to repair the gas tank on one of these. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baerpath 517 #2 Posted February 1, 2009 Hey that looks familiar I have a pair of them I like the 69's. Nice find Chris Duane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cody 277 #3 Posted February 2, 2009 Nice find it looks real straight. All of the gas tankes on my gt-14's have a spot that is melted a little but not completly through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #5 Posted February 2, 2009 Take the tank to a plastic welder. It is a specialized kind of trade. You can do it yourself as I have seen kits and welding rod at Harbor Freight. But I have a feeling it is the kind of thing you can mess up really easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KyBlue 655 #6 Posted February 2, 2009 Eastwood.com sells kits to weld plastic too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHC-125 4 #7 Posted February 2, 2009 What if I was to sand the spot down and JB weld it because I was told it doesnt leak but I want to fix it to make sure :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KyBlue 655 #8 Posted February 2, 2009 I think Id Find a 2 part Epoxy made for plastic... rather than JB Weld.. by the way...Really clean looking starting point!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #9 Posted February 2, 2009 I think Id Find a 2 part Epoxy made for plastic... rather than JB Weld.. by the way...Really clean looking starting point!! I agree. Do a Google search for "plastic epoxy" and you'll be amazed on how many products are out there. It's a lot easier to repair it correctly now while it's apart. Keep your pictures coming.

Teddy da Bear 11 #10 Posted February 2, 2009 I agree with 4star too. Just hope there is not some chemical reaction between 2 different materials. Perhaps you can try a small spot first to see if it works and is compatable. Until I got my second GT-14, I did not know the muffler heat shield was missing on the first one. I am not refering to the metal shield in between the tank and engine. My second one has a shield that separates the tank and the can-muffler. But I cannot speak for the 69 model year as mine are 70's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #17 Posted February 3, 2009 Burly I am still waiting for you to bring home that long promised FEL... And GT-14's were born with 4 legs.....that thing you got there must be an old farmall.. WHC-125....hey...at least somebody thinks of da Bear! I hope your 16hp kohler fits better than mine. Mine is the newer magnum series and p.o. "bent" the hood out to fit around the motor shroud. I think my frame or motor mounts could be slotted and the motor "shifted" over and the hood would fit properly then. Look before you leap when mounting that motor! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHC-125 4 #19 Posted February 3, 2009 Aren't 14 hp and 16 hp Kohler K series the same size just a different bore :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #20 Posted February 3, 2009 Hey Chris, If you install a 16 hp in your GT I went directly back to the same mount holes as the 14 hp. You don't need to drill anything as far as I know. They are the same block, yes, K series. Post some more pictures as you go. Good Luck Burly :horseplay: :horseplay: :horseplay: :horseplay: :horseplay: :horseplay: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #21 Posted February 3, 2009 Seal-all is gasoline resistant and works on metal gas tanks (my brother used to have a lot of old trucks and found this stuff really works). This is good stuff, it is sort of a industrial Duco cement! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
