730 gas sediment bowl 2

I have had no luck finding an automatic shutoff sediment bowl for a 730 gas. It is nowhere to be found on the net and a Deere used parts vendor at a swap meet basically told me they are not to be found. This is a side mount unit, mounts to the side of the carb, not a unit that screws into the bottom of the tank like the rest of the numbered Deeres.

I still have two options, one option is to make a tank mount unit work by doing some butchering. It's not something I am inclined to do. Tank mount units are available. Second option is to use a regular sediment bowl that has a side inlet and a side outlet. I have been Googling for one of these units all day and have not come up with anything with the large glass bowl like the 730 uses. I do have one side fill sediment bowl with the large glass in the parts drawer that will work but it is older than the hills and has a different design. Instead of a round wire to hold the bowl up this one has a flat strap and a different type of screw on the bottom. It appears to have some kind of a filter with a spring inside. Don't want to mess with it.

So now I am asking you guys if you know of a source for a large glass sediment bowl with side inlet and outlet. New or used but I really prefer good used. The new ones are too cleaply made in my opinion. I do not need or want a fuel shutoff screw on the bowl. I know, I am being picky! By large glass I mean the size glass bowl you see on the A's and B's. Thanks
 
I have a late 720 Gas. Same thing as the 730. It also had the
sediment bowl mounted to the carb. I did not want the oil pressure
function so I just installed a regular sediment bowl to the carb. I
used an 1/8 X 1/4 nipple and a 1/4 X 1/4 adapter just as a spacer
between the bowl and carb. Next I used a 3/8 X 3/8 female 90 on top
of the sediment bowl. Then fitting to use 5/16 line. I double flared
the line. At the tank I used a mini ball valve. I just used an 1/4 X 1/4
90* adapter under the tank. The ball valve to that and then 5/16
inverted flare fitting. I bent and flared a new line. I also kept the
original sediment bowl if I wanted to rerun to original. After I shut
down the tractor I just close the ball valve under the tank.
