Barry, more than likely the soldered on fitting plate is leaking at the solder joint to the tank bottom. Clean it up & look closely but that is where most of those old Deere tanks leak. To repair that correctly the tank should be removed & the thank purged of ALL fuel vapors then the fitting plate re-soldered. If you are lucky it might just be leaking at the threads, but most aren't that easy [or lucky].
~If by chance it is just the fitting threads to the sediment bowl leaking all you have to do is remove the sediment bowl & clean the threads then use a good quality Teflon based pipe sealer on the threads, [don�t use Teflon tape]�

Thanks for the info, i used teflon tape when I when I put the sediment bowl back on, I suspect that is the problem, but will check both. Thanks again.

Barry there's nothing wrong with the Teflon tape as far as thread sealing is concerned... It's the possibility that a piece of that Teflon tape could get cut off by the threads & work it's way into to the carb or shut-off valve & cause problems...
