I know it is not made to fit for the 801 engine but I am on a fixed budget, and will make it fit. The three pictures below illustrate the tank, shield, and bracket layout. I have circled an area that I believe should have holes in the mounting plate. The shield and rear bracket all have holes. But the front is missing holes. HOW CAN THAT BE??? I know the back plate is fiber-glassed reinforced onto the tank but has been there a long time. I understand I will need to raise the tank to fit the 801 (HOW MUCH?). I will make a customized gas line. thanks for all help tank bottom heat shield bracket layout [Reply]   [No Email]

I put a bolt and washer under the broke out hole for the front and mounted the brackets. I also spaced out each bolt by 2 flat washers and 1 nut, so that the tank will sit about .6 inch higher. Got two pictures of it installed on the 801 engine. Another question on filter I got the sediment filter on this site, I see where the gas line hooks in, but there are no threads on the mount to carb. Do I need some kind of brake-line fitting? side front filter filter2 [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm sorry I don't have a photo of the bolt you need, but it's not just an ordinary bolt. It's hollow and has holes in the side for the gas to go through. Hopefully someone will have a photo of what you need. [Reply]  [No Email]

P/N 313382 is for all tractors up through 12/31/1960 and p/n CONN9A349B is for tractors after that. There are also a couple of gaskets needed, one between the bolt head and the sediment assembly and one between the sediment assembly and the carb. P/N is NCA9918A or NCA9918B depending on which stem you need. I got all these numbers off the New Holland site. I couldn't find a source for the stem. Maybe a NH dealer can still get it.

For the early one it just says "Call". Click on Fuel system, then Fuel Tank Lines & Related Parts. Check item# 26 in the diagram. NH parts diagram on Messicks site. [Reply]  [No Email]

It looks to me like the mounting rail on the underside of the 601 tank is the same as what you have. I still have the 601 tank and could take better pics if that will help. I don't have any of the other stuff (heat shield, mounting brackets). [Reply]  [No Email]

The front bracket is bolted to the tank with a single bolt, going in the slot on the front of the tank.I believe there's a spring on that bolt as well - it isn't tightened against the tank, the spring provides the tension. I don't think you have to raise the tank, either. The engines in 601's and 801's are the same size externally. It's the size of the gas tanks that differs.(means there will be room between the tank and hood if you use a 601 tank under a 801 hood) [Reply]  [No Email]
