20 years sitting in a barn. I do not want to, but I feel that I must do
this. The rubber lines are sure to be dry rotted, and there's a good chance
that the tanks may be full of rust or something.

The tanks need to be inspected, yes? And I must drop them to do this, yes?
And I need to drop them in order to replace all the rubber anyway, yes?

I think I will buy some 2x12s and build a ramp that will put the bottom of
the tires a foot and a half off the ground. That will give me enough room
to get underneath and do things.

I will be doing this in the driveway of my house. The weather is pleasant
enough, there are no wasps, and it's convenient. I might ougt to "strike
while the iron is hot" as they say, especially since my dear sweet wife is
so enthusiastic.

Comments or suggestions? I believe the tank dropping procedure is in X7725
somewhere? It wasn' tin the main manual that I downloaded, I need to go
find it. I would love to hear some been-there-done-thats from those that
have done this before already. Comments, suggestions, attaboys etc are all
welcome. There will be video.

Hoses will be replaced with corn-proof hose.
