Hi Jim ... Would YT sell a TO30 tank and a TO30 sediment bowl with different threads ? The site says the sediment bowl's a 3/8" NPT male inlet, but no specs on the tank.
Would they do it knowingly? No. If you are in the business of selling things it is probably in your best interest to attempt to sell the correct parts that fit the machine and work together. Might they do it unknowingly the chances are pretty good. To keep the cost of the replacement parts for these old tractors in the reasonable range the parts like many things these days are sourced overseas. Ever assemble something from overseas with instructions that were obviously written by someone who isn’t the master of the English language? If so, I think right there is where you will find the most likely answer. Whoever sent the spec sheet to the manufacturer abroad very likely had the proper thread diameter and type on there. Then it went through the channels above ..this looks close.. bingo.. the results are the type of problems you have encountered. And YT was probably not the one that sent the spec sheet. This may not be 100 percent true but to a degree YT is sourcing their Fergy gas tanks out of the same shipping container of them where Steiner, Bates and the whole host of other old tractor parts sellers get theirs. If not the price for the part would probably make you faint.
Hi MN .. Makes perfect sense ... I'll bring a tap & die out to get it fixed.
Oh, missed that you’re new here. Welcome to YT!
I meant re-tap the holes
Would they do it knowingly? Yes and no. I first found out about this problem back in March and brought it to their attention, but I doubt that the rep I talked to did anything about it. I recently placed the order again for new tank and sediment bowl assembly. Before placing the order, I called and talked to a sales person and he assured me the parts I was buying matched. I didn't believe him. So, on the order form, there is a place to add additional instructions. I wrote, "Please make sure these parts match" (or something like that). The tank and bowl assembly arrived today. They don't match. I've been on the phone with customer service and expecting a return call. I believe it's an internal communications problem...nobody talking to each other about a customer's complaint. Just refund their money.
Is that item #104098?
Yes
