Anybody ever break off the petcock on a 300FW?

Recommended Posts

So, bought a parts 300 a couple of weeks ago.  Yesterday I more or less popped the big dent out of one side of it.  Paint's in good shape.  Inside is clean.

 

Then I look and the threaded shank that the petcock screws onto it gone! 

 

Anyone every have this happen?  I'm wondering if I could braise a nipple on there, or if it's scrap.

All you can do is try -- my Boss many -- many years ago said to me just get it going -- whittle it out of a piece of wood if you have too.

if it broke off, then more than likely its rusted very bad around that area inside, and out. i have never had one break off, but i have seen a ton of them rust out, pin holes, you name it around that threaded part. your best bet is try to jb-weld one back on ?, then use a product called '' seal all '' all around it. other than this ?, that tank is scrap.

Kinda what I was thinking. 

 

Paint's in good shape, inside looks clean.  I don't get it, but it's looks good enough inside and out that I hate to scrap it.
