I finally removed the fuel tank from the 8N hood while I waited for parts for the steering box. The Question: The braces holding the tank were spot welded to the sides of the hood. The hood was bolted to the braces and came loose easy but it proved almost impossible to pull the hood from between the braces because when tipped to remove it was too big for the opening. Looked to me that at least the back brace was originally made to be bolted to the hood side rails - how do I put the tank back to be correct?? Even the parts manual was vague on this point. Steering box is coming along great thanks for the help.
