Hustler Z Model:926253 Fuel tank source

[nwohiochevyguy]

I have an older Hustler Z which one of the fuel tanks is damaged and looking for a replacement.
Unit used for personal home use, not upgrading any time soon, been a great machine with maintenance and some TLC each season.

It is obsolete part in Hustler System, so looking for one from a salvaged machine or other source.
Machine is a 926253 from 1999 I believe.

Hustler part information.
Part# 781161
Desc: Fuel Tank, R.S. (Console)

Anyone know where I may find a tank?
Or if anyone in MI/OH are knows here one can be repaired / welded?

Most bigger smash repair shops do plastic welding
The tank will be HDPE which is very easy to weld .
I repair tanks regularly using HDPE rods then milk bottles as a patch plate ( because I do not trust my welds 100% )
