Well, evidently, in about 1982, IHC got sued over a leaky gas cap. I don't know the whole story. They still are replacing gas caps with an improved model. The tank lips, hafter years of use get bent a little by gas nozzles rubbing on them and general use and abuse. So, each dealer got a tool to reform the tank lip. I think, because I found a guy, Bill Poore, think was his name selling the tools on the farmall cub web site. I bought one and the instructions with it were copies of instructions from IHC to a dealer. It is a neat tool and it works well. They are a little pricey, but there is quite a bit of machine work involved in them. The lip needs to be almost perfect for the gasket to seal. I have both old Farmalls and John Deere's (Ihope I can use that word on here). I hoped it would work on both, but the green one's have a smaller tank inlet. I haven't tried it on any other brands. If I left out anything just ask, enough people on here have helped me.
