Need help with a 1982 Liquidfire

[JD Midmount]

Hello everyone,

I bought a really nice Liquidfire, completely rebuilt and runs great. One problem though, I went to put a full tank of gas in it and it leaks at the rubber seal where the fuel nipple is. I have always dealt with Midmount machines, easy fixes. I need some info as to how I go about fixing this problem the correct way. Thanks everyone.. BTW, all of the hardware is new including fuel lines, the fuel nipple, etc etc... Thanks..

That rubber tank bushing is still available from Deere. Part # is M149638. Call up to Mid-State in Columbus. They can get you one in a couple days if they don't have them in stock.

Big Mike first try what discus shared and while replacing it, check the hole in the tank were the grommet goes and make sure its not cracked or made a little bigger? I had 1 on a sportfire that would continue to pop out. I ended up replacing the tank. Tanks are easy to find, If you need 1 let me know I will give you 1 for free, just pay for the shipping... Jdrob
