[SEL] Wooden spray tank repair.

[James Yost]

Hey all

I found one of these in my neighbors barn about 6 to 8 years ago. Mine is a F.E. 
Meyers spray rig with a Stover engine like the one on Ebay. The wood is Cypress. 
I restored mine and bought Cypress wood from out of Florida and replaced the top 
and maybe a couple of boards on the bottom as I remember.

Subject: [SEL] Wooden spray tank repair.

Hi all.
Anyone on the list ever replaced the wood on an old tank for a spray rig?
This one is about 4' long, 3' wide and 3' deep.  Round on the bottom and
held together with metal rods.  My question is about the long boards  on
the sides, the remaining boards are not tongue and groove they just butt
together and rely on the wood swelling up.  These boards have a slight
curve across their width, were them made that way or over the years of
being wet and clamped in place did they curve?
A lot of the original wood is there but saturated with arsenic and now
hazardous material and cannot be used.
Thanks for any suggestions.
