I put on here a while ago about my 706 gasser that would die while under a load. One sugestion was there was rust in the tank. Well that person was correct. Now my question is what is the best way to get it out with out removeing the tank. I am in the middle of doing hay.
Thanks in advance

with out removing the tank it is trial and error but you could remove the sediment bowl and get a bottle brush or a wire brush on a stick to try to loosen it up and use air pressure. I think I would just remove it and take it to be coated there is a local radiater shop that coats them here.
 
antique power magazine just did an article about putting a short piece of tubing in the sediment bowls inlet so you werent drawing fuel in from the very bottom of the tank. Bill M.
 

I have had good results from siphoning. Those transfer siphons that you get at a hardware store are stiff enough that you can guide them around. Just take twenty minutes before you start to plan it out so that you take every conceivable safety precaution.
 
Unscrew the sediment bowl unit out of the tank; be sure to catch the fuel or put a temporary plug in the hole.
With a hacksaw or file, make a small groove about 1/8" down from the top of the pipe that extends into the tank.
Take a small piece of metal screen & wrap around the pipe securing it into the groove with wire.
Keep the fix small enough to fit up into the tank.
 
steiner tractor parts sells a screen that fits in the sediment bowl up in the tank. its about 2 inches long. i have them on a couple tractors and they work well.

The sediment bowl will catch that rust. That is what it is supposed to do. Just pay attention to it and when you see that rust beginning to accumulate in the bottom of the bowl, remove it and clean it. Make sure you clean that screen also. Eventually all of that rust will have been rinsed out.
 
As some other posters have subjected there are two easy things that will make life easier:

1)Make sure you have a screen in the sediment bowl. The JD parts number is AA4297R $4.07 each. It just sets on the glass bowl. I prefer the ones with a plastic frame around the screen. They are easier to clean and reuse.

2) Put a few inch long stand pipe in the top of the sediment bowl. Remover the whole assembly from the tank. Then take a short piece of brake line or copper tubing and put it in the top of the sediment bowl body. I usually have to drill them to size to fit what pipe I am using. I just make the hole a light press fit on the OD of the pipe. Make this be 1-2 inch tall. This way the gas/rust will stay in the bottom of the tank. Just remember that you will run out of gas with that much more in the tank.
 
A friend suggested I put small magnets in the sediment bowl...WORKS GREAT...I just put them in there loose and blow them off with air compressor when they are covered.
 

Yep on a riser.
Ball valve and keg filter.
I soldered copper tube in a brass
Fitting.

I scraped most all the crud out with a stick
before installing the riser.
 
Thanks for the help guys. I will try the magnet trick first the when done haying a bit doing the riser trick to finish up the year.

Thanks again.
