CB77 tank size

Post by revlover » Mon Dec 14, 2015 4:10 pm

I have three cb77 tanks. Two appear to be the same size, but the third is noticeably wider. Can someone enlighten me as to what years the sizes differ? I suspect the narrower tanks go with early models and the wider one came out later. I can't however find definitive information to confirm this. Were the tanks the same capacity worldwide or did they differ with the country in which they were imported? Thanks in advance,
Doug

1961 & some early 1962 tanks were wider.

Thanks, Tim, for the info. I guess I had it backwards. My 61 came to me with a narrow tank and my 67 had a wide one on it. Go figure.

I'm quite serious about the issues raised in this speech.

I'm also quite serious when I say, "POST YOUR SPAM SOMEWHERE ELSE!"
