Review on Tecumseh Craftsman 36863 OEM Fuel Tank for Lawn & Garden Equipment Engines: Genuine and Reliable by Thomas Unruh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Identical replacement for Craftsman 5HP 2 " Chipper

Identical replacement tank for my 5HP Craftsman 2" Chipper (1997) model 247.775850 as MTD 247-483A099. Engine - Craftsman 143.965021, Tecumseh 5 hp. To replace them, first remove the 2" chopper tray, then the fuel line. Then remove the bolt that secures the dipstick bracket and then the two bolts that secure the metal bracket to the engine on the side of the tank. Then slide the tank to the right about 1 inch to remove the tank from the front left clip by pulling slightly up and forward. Remove the metal from the tank and put it on a new one and install in reverse order.
