a Nelson 1820 followed me home the other day, impressive.
The lid won't quite shut in the front, since the tank top half is 1/4" steel, I don't think that's changed. On the back of this lid is welded a "U" flange of sheet metal, that I'm guessing was sort of a spring to wedge behind the tank wall and the inner lip of the lid as it closed and keep oil from escaping out he back? in the pic you can see a slight gap between the inner lip lid and this 'sealing sheet metal spring' I'm wondering if this was an original Nelson feature of if someone added this on. On this saw it seems like the "U spring" would have to be clamped fairly flat to make the lid close reasonably well?
or thinking more about it, was this addon piece supposed to be flat/straight and extend further down into the tank, maybe it got bent by accident?
