I have an old NH 66 baler driven by a two cylinder Wisconson engine. The gas tank is in bad shape. Can I use a 20 lb, propane tank as a gas tank? If so, how do I do this, and is there any danger involved?

Use a refrigerant tank,They are disposable,easy to weld as no chance of blowing up, Drill holes for your fill and drain fittings, after venting tank through valve. Weld on what u want . Mig or brazing is best.

I think it would be a pretty small hole to pour gas in. No way to look in and see the gas level, either.

The tank would need a vent. The valves are difficult to remove because they have paste on the threads. There is a couple tools that they sell for removing the valves, but I have been too cheap to buy them. One is a vise for holding the tank. I made one brom a substantial piece of metal with some conveyor belting between the tank and the metal for traction, and a 2 inch ratchet strap for holding a load on the trailer. It is wuite similar to the vice they sell. Then you just need a pipe wrench and channel locks to get at the valve. They have a special wrench to fit over the handle down to the squared part in the center for about $30. Maybe this year I'll buy the wrench, Last year I took apart about 40 20 pound tanks to sell for scrap metal, the others still have propane in them that I plan to use for the torch to cut apart scrap metal. By the way, in 2002 I picked up 60 tons of scrap metal from the curbside recycling program in town, and kept the metal from going to the landfill. I did it by hand, while I use crutches to walk. Just a little bragging :-)
