Hi all! Got a working condition new idea transplanter from family passdown and water tank leaks really bad, any idea where i can get a new one?
 
3PH or pull type? I have a 3PH that has a 40? gallon plastic barrel plumbed into it- works fine. A 55 gal metal tank would work but then you would probably have to cut out the filler opening and use your old cover. Also may need to re-plumb the feed line to the end or weld your old drain to it.
 
Is it like this? If so disregard the 3PH, you'll need a barrel smaller than a 55 gallon one.

If it is just going to be used then just find a plastic tank/barrel that is about the correct size and replace the metal one. If your wanting "correct" for collecting then that is harder. It would make it easier to know what vintage of New Idea transplanter you have. They made them from horse drawn, three point to trailer mounted.
 
HI: if it is a metal tank, you could braze/patch the holes
and then use the same kind of liner that is used for restoring fuel tanks
Hope it helps
