After Market Gas Tank CC 1730

[jjcc246]

I have a Cub 1730, about a 1992, 17hp hydro. Whenever I need to get to the dash wires or steering (just replaced the gears) I have to remove the gas tank. It doesn't slide out that easy because of the magneto area of the engine, which is another chore to get off. I'm thinking of putting the gas tank in the rear somewhere and just wondering if anyone has done that type of modification and what they used and how they did it. I think I can put the battery where the gas tank is and maybe a tank where the battery is. The battery is under the seat. Any ideas are appreciated. And, yes, I know I can trade it in on the newer styles that already have the mod. done, I just like my good solid old workhorse.
