This same thing happened to my dads 2720 and he called the dealer and made them take it back. he had it for 1 week i think before this happened. It took them 2 weeks to figure out how to fix it but what ever they did it has not happened again.
I would be really interested in how they fixed it and if it will last. See if you can find out.
I will and try to find out for ya, but i wont see him till later this week. just wanted to let ya know i saw your post.
Ok talk to dad this weekend he said they ended up bending the mounts and told him that if it did it again they want it back and deere wants to see it. It was the first one they had seen do this. They also gave him a tractor to use when it happened, (i forgot about that)
Randy,are your brackets round bar with flattened ends? That is what they look like in the pic. I was checking mine and took a couple pics. Mine are made from flat bar.
Seems to be about 3/16 x 3/4. The tank actually feels pretty sturdy,but that doesn't mean it's not moving a little.
Randy, I have not heard of this problem, before. There are no tech bulletins or recalls that I could find. :unknown:

It's RSB (Randy's Service Bulletin) #001 :laugh:
Purchased new Sept 2010 closed hood in May 2011 and hood closed on cap.
I went to my J D dealer and told him the problem and he showed me one he had in his shop with the same condition, he asked what I wanted to do , I didn't want to be with out my tractor or pay for transport so he ordered a new tank and I put it in (bigger job than it looks) . By the way I tried to shim but it didn't work out
