I suggest not putting the tank on the front. The joint between the frame and the transmission case is not strong enough to take that load. I've seen a few Cat's and Deere's broke in two from this. It just takes one jolt like hitting a bridge just right etc to cause it to fail.
The tracks come with the pipe holes for this reason. I suggest using using them.
