Bearing day today . Made rubbers pre-seals to go between the tank and bearing face to keep 99% of the sealer off the bearing . Who ever built the tank didnt do this . Then i made the handle bolt on as before it was welded on .
Next i fixed a crap weld by cutting out the pipe welded in the end of the tank . Then i welded in a new threaded bung . I also added a 3rd bung out back . The 3 ports are for if you need to spray sealer . We brush so i just capped them 2 extra off . But resale value later just went way up for a little time now .

You've got a lot of tanks.
still got the bosses old d-350 2wd 360/4speed flatbed with a 500 gal on it and the original 60+ year old tank he started with he got used at 250 gal . but the old 250 is now off the road due to age and paper thin . will use as a dump / mix tank on the shop lot .
Fixed a problem on last years trailer build . Lights being led did not like the 45* mounting angle .
Chopped 1 box down to 2 half singles . Then cut and set in fender and now there in direct view .

Old bed ready to go to scrap yard . Plasma cutter did the job easy for cutting up .
