I've just discovered yesterday that my gas tank on my B-212 has significant rust. Is there anybody out there that may have a decent tank that they'd part with. Also looking for an original owners manual for an Allis-Chalmers 720 if anybody has one they'd part with.

just clean it with good clean crushed gravel then if a hole appears or the inside does'nt shine right up then put a gas tank liner in it , my 101 had several pin holes in it when i got it and it was also very rusty so i lined it that was about 7 or 8 years ago it gets used daily either in the yard garden or pulling dead equipment in the shop

I wish I could do that. The rust problem is bad near the outlet to the point that a liner could not fill in the holes. There are very few pinholes and a lot of bigger ones. I am considering that if I have to I'll fill in all the damage with PC-7 epoxy paste and then apply a tank liner. I was told red kote liner was the best.
