[SEL] Maytag Information Needed

[FRM8198 at aol.com]

Hi List,
I understand from the research I have completed that the two cylinder Maytag 
came with one of 5 (five) different gas tanks.  The unit that I have has the 
aluminum tank and therefore it doesn't have a flat mounting base.  The other 
tanks are made of cast iron with provisions to hold the engine down.  This 
particular model of Maytag (with the aluminum tank) that I have is supposed to hang 
from an overhead mount.  The P.O. of this engine made a mount so that the 
engine can be fitted to a flat surface.  In order to do this, the top of the gas 
tank was modified to fasten 4 (four) brackets with bolts.  
I would like to obtain a cast tank or find out how this engine was originally 
mounted to an overhead mount.  To date, I haven't been able locate a 
different gas or how the overhead mount is fabricated and where it attaches to the 
engine.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to either find a replacement 
cast iron tank or how to make the overhead mount and connect it to the engine?
