1964 IHC B414 restoration - install fuel filter?

Today I took possession of my dad's 1964 B414. It last ran a few years ago but there were issues with rust and crud in the fuel tank clogging things up.

You can see a fair amount of rust inside the tank. I notice that there is no fuel filter on this tractor. There is a shutoff valve at the bottom of the tank (which looks impossible to reach) and a steel fuel line to the fuel pump.

My plan is to take the tank off, clean it well and coat the inside with POR or similar. When I put it all back, it seems to me that I should install a fuel filter. I guess I would cut the hard fuel line and install an inline filter with rubber fuel hose. Bad idea?
 
Doesn't it have a sediment bowl?? If it does that in it self is a filter and should also have a screen in the top of the bowl and the 2 are all one needs
 
No sediment bowl. Gas tank-shutoff valve- hard line - fule pump - hard line - zenith carb.
This seems like a bad design.

Yes, I think a sediment bowl type filter would be ideal but I need to work out a way to connect to it. I guess I'll need a flare tool.
 
Just use brake line and they have all the fittings already on them. You can buy it from 6 inches long to 6 foot long and it is easy to bend s easy to route
 
The B414 has a screen as part of the fuel pump as well as a recess that collects debris. Just remove the top cover.
 
Aha! Thanks for that. I would have discovered that pretty quickly but it solves my question of why no fuel filter.
I pulled the lid off the fuel pump, and the rubber gasket had swollen wayyy too large. And the screen was gunked up and sticky- like maple syrup. Yuck- I reckon the carb is the same way. So, I think if I clean everything out and rebuild the carb and fuel pump I should be ok.
