Fuel Cap

[papachaz]

anyone had to replace their fuel cap? I lost mine today, and I've been pricing them.....good grief. Was just wondering if anyone had replaced theirs with something other than the factory cap. I'll stuff a rag in it before I'll pay over fifty bucks for a cap......

going out of town tomorrow for a few days, will be searching for a replacement when I get back and I'll let you know what I find. Next one will be on a tether of some sort too....

I have a XG3140H and its the same tractor as a 2017 NH Workmaster 40. You can get that cap from messicks for $25.98. Don't know if it fits yours.

ok thanks. that's something I hadn't thought of, I need to learn what the 'sister' model that NH has, although I would think it would be more which model has the same fuel tank.

How did you lose the fuel cap?

Get a cap that fits. The last thing you want is water getting into the tank. That can cost you big money if the water makes it to the IP.

I lost mine 4-5 years ago and after sticker shock went to local auto parts with a tracing and measurements of the filler neck.

I was able to match up a suitable cap and promptly added a tiny 'tether chain' so as to not repeat.

LOL, a tank cap don't care if is gas or fuel as long as it is vented.

Mine was $45 through the MF dealer.. I believe they hold a few pounds of pressure so I went the oem route..

Seeing you have an xg3025, the NH equivalent would be a workmaster 25 I believe.

great tip! while I do park it inside, I have also been caught out in the rain. I'll make a trip to the NH dealer and see what they've got. I would think which ever one in their line that has the same size fuel tank would interchange
