Hi Guys!
Lint- In a recent post you said that Toro Plastic tanks are"leaking all over the place". I bought a 2450 as a back up machine last year and have yet to fuel it. Is there anythinig in particular I can do or should look out for regarding the leaking tank issue? Are there any particular serial #s that are affected?
Thanks,
Marc

Here is some more detailed info on the tank recall.
The top picture is of a typical leaker.
The bottom is the service bulletin.
Not all 3650's and 2450's ever made are covered under this recall. Some of the earlier models are excluded even though they have the #105-8952 tank. But if you have a leaker that isnt covered under the numbers, my best advice would be too take it in too your dealer and have your shop rat call thier service rep. for authorization. Toro is always good about stuff like that.

Hi Guys!
Lint-My unit carries model#38515 and the serial # begins with 2600 which puts me way out of the range for THIS recall. My concern is have there been leak problems with any of the machines with serial #s beginning with2600 and are there any other recalls or service bulletins?
Thanks,
Marc
